Climate Alliance:
A strong community for global climate protection
Climate Alliance is the European network of local authorities committed to the protection of the world's climate. The member cities and municipalities aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at their source. Their allies in this endeavour are the Indigenous Peoples of the rainforests in the Amazon Basin.
Tangible targets
demonstrate the determination to act in favour of the global climate. By joining Climate Alliance, cities and municipalities embrace the following voluntary commitments:
- to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% every five years
- to halve per capita emissions by 2030 at the latest (from 1990 baseline)
- to preserve the tropical rainforests by avoiding the use of tropical timber
- to support projects and initiatives of the indigenous partners
Climate Alliance members
Founded in 1990, more than 1.500 cities, municipalities and districts in 17 European countries have since joined Climate Alliance. Regional governments, NGOs and other organisations are able to join as associated members.
