NetZeroCities
100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030
Description
NetZeroCities (NZC) will support Europe in its ambition to achieve climate neutrality before 2050 (EU´s Mission “100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030”, part of the Horizon Europe programme). This level of impact is an extraordinary undertaking for each and every city, and will require profound and systemic changes.
NetZeroCities recognises the need for cities to develop specific strategies that are tailored to suit local and regionals contexts, an will support them by aggregated and codesigned services and thematic expertise through a one-stop-shop platform accessible to all cities through an online portal (Mission Platform).
In addition, the project will support up to 30 pilots in European cities to help drive rapid learning about how to achieve climate neutrality at city scales. Cities will benefit from an intensive support relationship and dedicated services to achieve their net-zero goals, including the Climate-neutral City Contract as an enabling instrument.
Objectives
- Develop the full concept and iterative process for Climate City Contracts (CCC), aligned with the Cities´Mission.
- Establish the One-Stop-Shop platform (Mission platform) to help cities accelerate their transition to climate neutrality.
- Support the successful implementation of 30 large scale pilots (EU cities) and up to 90 Twin Cities (replication activities).
- Design services to support cities´transition through proven solutions structured in thematic areas.
- Intensive cities´support relationship through City Guides to navigate the platform.
Actions
CARTIF actively participates in the following project actions:
- Iterative Signatory Process for CCC and cohort cities support for Action Planning.
- Development of MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning) framework and NetZeroCities indicator sets.
- Design of expert services for deploying climate neutral actions.
- Analysis of solutions, co-benefits and barriers to adoption.
- Provide tailored advisory services and expert support for designing and demonstrating solutions for the selected pilots through the Platform.
Expected Results
- 30 EU Cities neutral by 2030.
- NZC one-stop-shop Platform (Mission platform, to provide continued support to cities as part of the EU´s long-term vision to be climate neutral by 2050).
- Design of expert services and tailored support to EU cities.

Smart Cities projects:
SGA2-NZC
NetZeroCities (NZC) project’s main objective is to support cities selected by the European Commission to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, in line with the 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission.
MOBILITIES FOR EU
MOBILITIES for EU aims to accelerate the transformation of cities towards climate neutrality through innovative solutions in passenger and freight mobility.
SGA1-NZC
SGA1-NZC has as an objective give support to 100 cities selected to be intelligent and climate neutral by 2030.
ASCEND
ASCEND aims to accelerate the implementation of Positive Clean Energy Districts (PCEDs) for the transformation of cities towards climate neutrality and social justice in Europe. To this end, Ascend will carry out the following measures.
SUPERSHINE
SUPERSHINE project is based on the renvoation of 3 pilot lighthouse districts focusing on the needs of the social housing inhabitants and on social assets generating high social capital and cohesion.
MOVE2CCAM
The project has as main objective to quantify the impact of the massive deployment of autonomous and connected mobility solutions in Europe through the development of a tool based in systems dynamic that will be build as of citizens and organizations perceptions collected in co-creation activities.
NEUTRALPATH
NEUTRALPATH has an objective to demonstrate the deployment of clean and positive energy districts (PCED) designed through participative processes focused on the citizen and that contributes significantly to the transformation of cities towards climate-neutrality at the time horizon 2030.
REHOUSE
REHOUSE project has as main objective the development and demonstration, up to TRL7, of 8 renovation innovative technologies packages, designed for covering a wide range of building renovation actions, allowing overcome the actual barriers that makes the renovation rates in Europe being low.
ATELIER
ATELIER is a demonstration project whose main objective is the design, implementation and validation of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in Amsterdam and Bilbao
MAKING-CITY
MAKING-CITY’s main objective is to achieve low-carbon cities thanks to the development of strategies aimed at transforming the urban energy system.
MAtchUP
MAtchUP is a demonstration project whose main objective is the implementation of innovative technologies in the energy, mobility and ICT sectors
mySMARTLife
The mySMARTLife project seeks to create sustainable and ecological cities, increasing energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy and reducing CO2 emissions.
Nature4Cities
Nature4Cities’ objective is to improve decision-making in cities with collaborative nature-based models that can be integrated into urban planning in cities.
SmartEnCity
SmartEnCity aims at a comprehensive sustainable urban regeneration model based on innovative technological solutions for energy, transport and ICTs
REMOURBAN
REMOURBAN’s objective is to develop and validate in three lighthouse cities (Valladolid-Spain, Nottingham-UK and Tepebaşı-Turkey) an urban, holistic and replicable regeneration model that facilitates the process of transforming urban environments into more sustainable and intelligent areas.
CITyFiED
The CITyFiED European project, co-financed by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program, aims to develop an integrated strategy to adapt existing cities to more sustainable and smart cities.
