Welcome to the
IEA Cities Technology Collaboration Programme
(Cities TCP)
What we do
Cities TCP is a new IEA collaborative international cross-cutting initiative that helps cities speed up their decarbonisation efforts.
“By 2050, cities have transformed their current energy supply and mobility into CO2-neutral systems through knowledge-based and ambitious action, while simultaneously ensuring a high quality of life and broad acceptance by their citizens.”
We provide
- scientific and evidence-based information (source: IEA knowledge network);
- tools, and recommendations to support urban decarbonisation efforts;
- an international forum and communication channel for research and innovation-related projects on urban energy and mobility system transformation;
- a platform to integrate and communicate tailor-made IEA knowledge, expertise and advice;
- a place to connect stakeholders on a national, regional and local level, thus creating a multi-disciplinary approach to drive and accelerate the energy transition to a carbon-neutral society.
