🇺🇦 Winter is coming. Russia is attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Millions risk losing heating, electricity and water.

@a_grotheer calls on European cities and regions to step up their support.

Ukraine needs more than solidarity. It needs action.

Democracy means respecting the people’s vote.

At #COP31, @NadiaPellefigue joined the @EU_CoR delegation and Istanbul Acting Mayor @nuriaslan_tr in reaffirming support for Ekrem İmamoğlu and all elected representatives imprisoned for political reasons.

Climate change does not hit everyone equally.

At #COP31, @NadiaPellefigue calls for cities and regions to lead a just transition: protecting the most vulnerable, fighting energy poverty and creating quality jobs.

Closing the climate implementation gap means putting cities and regions at the centre.

At #COP31, our member @jduch joined @ICLEI and #LGMA Constituency to discuss how multilevel action can turn global commitments into delivery on the ground.

Cities and regions cannot simply be asked to implement climate decisions made elsewhere.

At #COP31, @NadiaPellefigue has a clear message: bring local and regional governments to the table when climate policy is designed not only when it is time to deliver it.
