The Covenant of Mayors has launched a campaign focusing on the transformation of urban heating systems, which directly impacts public health, economic stability, and resilience.
With 72% of buildings in Europe using fossil fuels for heating, this worsens climate change, energy insecurity, and air quality.
The campaign advocates for decarbonised district heating and improved heat planning to eliminate gas use, positioning local governments as crucial in leading the shift to sustainable energy.
