  • Cities, energy and children: the future of our planet!

    Urb-En Pact (urban energy pact) is an URBACT network that gathers 8 european cities with the same objective : becoming a net-zero energy territory by 2050. The method used to do so is simple : increasing the production of “green” and local energy while decreasing our energy consumption. Easier said than done but the common determination of all the partners and our skateholders is a key factor of success.  

    Cities are in the driving seat to tackle the climate change. It is about the future of our planet and of all those who will inhabit it.
