Accelerating cooperation with city networks and the European Commission

date: 26 May 2025

The fourth edition of the Cities Mission Conference 2025 held from 6th – 8th May 2025 in Vilnius, Lithuania with “Harnessing City Successes: Advancing Climate Action for 2030” as the key theme was a great success. Organised by the European Commission and the Mission Platform, the conference brought together political representatives and city practitioners to celebrate the Mission’s considerable progress after three years, sharing achievements and experiences, and inspiring all those as they continue their hard work towards climate neutrality.

Recent engagement of the European Commission at the TCP Cities Executive Committee meeting held in April 2025 in Rome, followed by continued discussions at the Cities Mission Conference in Vilnius where both were represented, has helped to strengthen and enhance the collaboration between TCP Cites and the European Commission. Both recognise the added value of working together to achieve our shared goals.
