Newsletter #8
The Covenant of Mayors East (CoM East) initiative has secured two more years of EU funding, extending its support for municipalities in the Eastern Partnership through 2027.
Newsletter #8 highlights upcoming opportunities for CoM East signatories to connect with the wider European clean energy community.
- The European Sustainable Energy Week (ESEW) takes place 9–11 June 2026, offering cities a platform to present their work.
- Energy Cities’ Annual Forum ‘Grafting Cities’ follows on 28–30 April in Guimarães, Portugal.
- European Climate Pact’s ‘Together in Action 2026’ event runs 23–25 March in Brussels.
The issue also features news from across the Eastern Partnership: climate awareness work in Azerbaijan, public engagement training for CoM East experts, the story of Ukraine’s first climate manager, and recognition of local climate progress in Armenia.
A feature article on Ukrainian cities anchors the issue. Four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainian municipalities are showing that the shift to decentralised, clean energy is not only a climate strategy — it is also a matter of security and sovereignty.
