.@AnneLaureStan @ClrmntMetropole "Last year, we implemented a #citizen convention in Clermont and asked them to work on 3 pillars: energy, social needs, democracy - we have to work on 3 together. The citizens made 40 propositions, 5 were specific to #energyconsumption"

.@trzaskowski "You are not doing it without the #cities! The cities are saving the planet, dealing with the #refugeecrisis, as well as with the #energycrisis.
Cities have to be courageous and loud – especially in populist countries. You have to involve #citizens"

.@EUClimateAction Laurence Graaf talks about importance of #citizenengagement "The #EUClimatePact was created as part of the #EUGreenDeal to get citizens to embrace the #energytransition. This starts at local level. We will not get there if fairness is not addressed seriously."

.@AsaLindhagen "When cities are consulted, the implementation of new reforms is much smoother.

This is really a win for everyone as new reforms will have a larger impact on the #locallevel, and therefore increase our chances of reaching #EU climate and #energysaving goals."
