The Spanish Network of Cities for Climate is the section of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) that unites cities and towns committed to sustainable development and the protection of the climate.
The aim of the Network is to become a technical support instrument for these local corporations, offering them the tools required to achieve sustainable development.
The Network provides prominence for local corporations with regard to environmental management, allowing the need to tackling those global problems that reach beyond the council arena, from a regulation point of view, to become compatible.
This initiative has been made possible thanks to FEMP and the Ministry for the Environment, establishing on 4th November 2004 an institutional Collaboration Agreement to put into practice contamination and climatic control preventive initiatives. These initiatives are aimed at promoting sustainable development polices at a council level, and in which the need to establish a broad collaboration with other institutions and public bodies to promote these interventions is reflected.
The central themes of the Network’s interventionare energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy,bioclimatic architecture and sustainable town planning.
