Municipality of Ukrainka (Ukraine);

Ukraine has 349 small depressed towns with a population of 10.000- 50.000, comprising 22% of the population. There are 60 towns of this kind in Belarus. In Georgia, around 43% of the entire population resides in small towns. These towns tend to have a single industry and in general a lack of diversity and low productivity, resulting in considerable poverty, tension and depression. This has resulted in growing numbers of vulnerable and marginalized people. |

EU Climate Action calls for a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions over 1990 levels, as well as a 20% increase in energy efficiency and 20% increase in energy from renewable energy sources (20-20-20). EU city municipalities actively participate in this process by joining the Covenant of mayors, a voluntary agreement signed by cities that are willing to contribute to this plan by means of sustainable energy planning. |
