Our Activities: Covenant of Mayors


Covenant of Mayors

Covenant of Mayors logo

The Covenant of Mayors is the first European Commission initiative directly targeting local authorities and their citizens to take the lead in combating climate change. All Covenant of Mayors signatories make a voluntary commitment to go beyond the EU objectives in terms of CO2 emission reduction. To reach this objective, local authorities commit to:

  • Preparing a Baseline Emission Inventory,
  • Submitting a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP), approved by their municipal council within the year following their official adhesion to the Covenant of Mayors initiative, and including concrete measures leading to at least 20% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2020,
  • Regularly publishing - every 2 years after submission of their SEAP - implementation reports approved by the municipal council stating the degree of implementation of their key actions and the interim results.

Covenant of Mayors EAST


The Covenant of Mayors' appeal stretches beyond EU borders. Since 2011, a growing number of signatories from 11 countries of Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus and Central Asia are assisted by the Covenant of Mayors Office East. The objective of this initiative, with the financial support of the European Commission Directorate-General Development and Cooperation – EuropeAid, is to increase the capacity of local authorities from these regions to deal with sustainable energy planning and support the preparation of their Sustainable Energy Action Plans. Climate Alliance is responsible for the adaptation of the Covenant's methodologies and is leading the Helpdesk in Lviv (Ukraine) and Tbilisi (Georgia).
