Eskişehir is a mid-sized city in north-western Türkiye, located on the Anatolian plateau and shaped by the Porsuk River. The city has a continental climate, with cold winters, hot summers and increasing pressure from heat stress and water availability. As a university city with a young population and a strong industrial base, Eskişehir combines rapid urban development with growing energy and mobility demands.

The municipality has a long-standing focus on sustainable urban development, particularly in public transport, compact urban form and public space. Investments in tram systems, pedestrian areas and cycling infrastructure have helped limit car dependency and improve air quality. At the same time, the city is strengthening its response to climate change by integrating mitigation and adaptation into urban planning and infrastructure decisions.

Eskişehir’s climate priorities include reducing emissions from transport and buildings, improving energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy use and increasing urban resilience to heat and water-related risks. Local strategies and municipal companies play a key role in implementation, supported by partnerships with universities, businesses and civil society. Through its participation in European climate initiatives and its commitment to long-term transformation, Eskişehir aims to accelerate its transition towards climate neutrality while maintaining a high quality of life for its residents.

Twinning Replication Booklet

Overview of Replications Plans submitted by Twin cities (Cohort 1, 2023-2025) The first cohort of the Twinning Learning Programme (Sept 2023 – May 2025) paired 56 Pilot Cities implementing 25 innovative climate-neutral activities with 37 Twin cities eager to replicate their approaches. Over nearly two years,cities engaged in a structured programme of online workshops, in-person visits, and facilitated exchanges, enabling Twin cities to closely follow pilot implementation and translate insights into Replication Plans tailored to their own contexts. The programme demonstrated that well-designed peer learning, anchored in real pilot projects, creates tangible outcomes. Twin cities developed Replication Plans across diverse areas such as sustainable mobility, energy decarbonisation, circular economy, and citizen engagement, while also contributing fresh perspectives that strengthened Pilot city efforts. The result is Europe’s largest peer-learning initiative under the Cities Mission, with 37 Replication Plans now paving the way toward climate neutrality across a broad range of local contexts.  Featured cities: Genoa, Issy-les Moulineaux, Tallinn, Jyvaskyla, Vilnius, Slavonski Brod, Eilat, Cologne, Soria,  Penteli, Waterford, Eskisehir, Vari-Voula-Vouliagmen, Gabrovo, Matosinhos, L'Aquila, Oulu, Belfast, Torres Vedras, Mytilene, Alba Iulia, Jerusalem, Reykjavik, Lorqui, Viladecans, Lund, Westminster, Wiesbaden, Krizevci, Palaio Faliro, Konya, Fundao, Taurage, Braga, Riga, Lulea, Wurzburg.
