REMARKABLE Climate Leaders is a European leadership initiative empowering local and regional actors to deliver climate neutrality by 2050. Built around a people‑centred, action‑orientated approach, the programme supported public authorities, communities, and emerging leaders across seven European regions to accelerate the clean energy transition with confidence, ambition, and impact.
At its core, REMARKABLE created a dynamic network of Climate Leaders who inspired change, mobilised stakeholders, and drove their municipalities and regions toward long‑term climate neutrality. These leaders led the shift of local action from traditional energy‑efficiency measures to a strategic, whole‑system focus on climate‑neutral futures.
Through the REMARKABLE Climate Leadership Programme (CLP), 120 leaders participated in a structured capacity‑building journey built around four pillars:
As part of the programme, leaders co‑created 60 Climate Neutrality Roadmaps, turning strategic aspirations into concrete, disruptive, and far‑reaching measures. In parallel, the seven participating Regional Energy Agencies developed 14 new Climate Neutrality Services, strengthening their role as catalysts for innovation and change.
Together, these efforts built a new wave of climate leadership across Europe, one capable of delivering the bold, systemic transformation required to achieve a climate‑neutral future.
