Local groups collaborate for climate neutral zones

The city’s emissions for 2019 stood at the equivalent of 352 ktCO2, a number that Ioannina has committed to reducing by 80% by 2030. Reaching these ambitious targets will require targeted initiatives informed by technical expertise. To make this possible, the Municipality of Ioannina has partnered with the Technical Chamber of Greece to create local groups consisting of engineers, municipal staff and citizens to work on the creation of climate neutral zones in the complex urban environment. This collaboration stems from the Memorandum of Cooperation that was signed by the Municipality of Ioannina and the Technical Chamber in June 2023. This agreement led to the funding of the project under the Call for Pilot Cities, Cohort 2 (2023) NetZeroCities.
