The North-Hungary region has a significant industrial heritage, with Miskolc being the centre of the Hungarian iron and steel industry until the 1990s. This region was the biggest loser of the regime change, with heavy industry and agriculture collapsing. The region's GDP used to be above the national average, but is now less than two-thirds of the national average.
In Miskolc, the last 10-15 years have seen a clear structural change in the economy; the number of registered business organisations has increased, most of them are individual or micro and small enterprises, and the mechanical engineering sector is now central. With this industrial and cultural heritage behind it, the city started to catch up in the 2000s. In 2011, Miskolc committed to follow the Green City principles, to respect the points of the Milan Green Charter, to apply the Green City Accreditation Point System in the launch and implementation of all developments affecting the city and in 2015, to join the European Covenant of Mayors, committing to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 20% compared to the 2008 base year. In 2016, it prepared the SEAP (Sustainable Energy Action Plan), in 2019 the SECAP (Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan) and in 2020 the City Climate Strategy, which already sets a target of 43% emission reduction. It is involved in a number of international cooperation and initiatives to support the urban green transition
