Building on the milestones like the Aalborg Commitments (2004) introducing local targets, the Basque Declaration (2016) promoting systemic change, and the Mannheim Message (2020) calling for Local Green Deals, the Aalborg Conditions lay out the framework needed to implement this sustainable transformation! "We need a common voice because many of the challenges we face are the same as in other cities. We have to act in the short-term but make a better framework for long-term planning and the Aalborg Conditions speak to that," notes Lasse Frimand Jensen, Mayor of Aalborg and Vice President of ICLEI Europe. Wolfgang Teubner Regional Director, ICLEI Europe adds, "The Aalborg Conditions mark a pivotal moment in Europe's sustainable cities movement, reflecting 30 years of progress. In order to implement their advanced transformative action plans, cities need the right framework conditions. By advancing Shared Governance, Integrated Finance, and a Cohesive Transition, we ask for a way forward that empowers local governments to lead the democratic transformation towards a climate-neutral, equitable, and resilient Europe."

As we continue celebrating #UrbanOctober, take a look at another #ICLEIMember working to localise the #EUGreenDeal. ✅ Espoo 🇫🇮 has established a #LocalGreenDeal with Kera Area Land Use Agreement, a pioneering district in sustainable development, circular economy, and digital transformation. So what’s the deal? ✅ Participants in the Kera development must create a plan detailing how they will implement the set goals before applying for a building permit. ✅ Kera should be developed through close cooperation, achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 using low-carbon and carbon-binding solutions ✅They should also implement carbon-neutral heating solutions, energy-saving technologies, and support for future two-way energy solutions.
