We support the mission of the Bashkia Tirane in adapting neighborhood streets and public spaces to worsening weather extremes. But without bold coordinated mitigation at the global level, our efforts won’t count. We are thrilled that #Tirana is the first capital in the Western Balkans to endorse, and join a growing group of leading mayors across the world demanding change.

🌿🤸♀️📜 Today, on the first-ever #InternationalDayofPlay Bashkia Tirane endorses the call for a #FossilFuelTreaty via Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative! 📍Tirana 🇦🇱, is a city that has taken bold action to ensure it is a resilient and healthy, and joyful place to live for future generations, from more nature, car-free play areas in front of schools, and more space for walking and cycling in the city. However, as Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj highlights, these efforts are at risk if we don’t address the root cause of the climate crisis, Fossil Fuels. In the wake of the European Parliament elections, Mayor Veliaj is calling on fellow European Mayors to make the vital shift away from fossil fuels. This will be essential not just for our climate, but to put people first and protect Europeans by building a safe economy and long-lasting peace.
