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.
As a part of Remarkable Horizon2020 project, Tipperary Energy Agency delivered a Climate Leadership Programme for climate leaders in Tipperary and Clare to demystify Climate Neutrality. Tipperary Energy Agency supported our climate leaders to develop Roadmaps for Climate Neutrality before 2050. In our engagement with local climate leaders, we received feedback that communication training on climate neutrality is needed for current and emerging leaders.
Climate Leaders Delivering Climate Neutrality by 2050
Build a strong network of current and emerging Climate Leaders who can inspire, mobilise, and guide municipalities and regions towards climate neutrality.
Accelerate progress towards 2050 targets. Drive a step-change in local and regional action so that public authorities shift from incremental improvements to transformative climate-neutral strategies.
Support public authorities in moving beyond energy efficiency only approaches toward comprehensive climate-neutrality pathways.
Facilitate the development of 60 actionable, ambitious roadmaps that translate policy aspirations into concrete disruptive measures.
Enable 7 Regional Energy Agencies to design and deliver 14 new Climate Neutrality services, strengthening their role as key change agents.
Foster peer learning and regional collaboration by connecting leaders across 7 European regions to exchange solutions, replicate successful models, and accelerate collective progress.
Support authorities in shifting from project-by-project thinking to long-term, systemic climate governance.
Empower communities and public authorities to lead the climate emergency response.
