The City of Pécs has been committed to climate policy for almost a decade. The ambitious targets set by the city, economic actors and society have been achieved through the implementation of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan of the city of Pécs, with a 20% reduction in emissions by 2020 compared to 2011.

 

The city of Pécs joined the Covenant of Mayors in 2013 and thus joined the 2030 targets, which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by. further 47.4% compared to 2019 by 2030 through measures in the area of energy use, industrial emissions, transport and waste management, and the planting of forests and green spaces. Building on the targets set in the SECAP and the Climate Strategy of the City of Pécs, stakeholders, decided to submit a declaration of intent to the European Union Urban Mission initiative, building on the progress achieved so far, and to accelerate the process of reaching the 2030 climate neutrality target.

 

In January 2022, the Municipality of Pécs submitted its application for the Europion Union's "100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission" programme as part of the European Green Deal, to be implemented under Horizon Europe. The City of Pécs has been selected by the European Commission to participate in the programme, under which the City of Pecs commits to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030.;In order to achieve the net zero target, Pécs will achieve an overall 80% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 2021 levels, resulting in a saving of 325 ktCO2. Currently transport emissions account for the largest share of emissions at 35%, followed by electricity emissions at 32% and the carbon impact of heating buildings at 25%.

Zero Emission Mobility Initiatives - Pécs, Cluj-Napoca, Velenje ECT activity

ZERO-MOVE addresses the urgent challenge of transport-related emissions in Central European cities by integrating advanced technologies with inclusive governance. The project responds to high car dependency, fragmented stakeholder coordination, and limited data- driven traffic management. It introduces smart sensor networks for real- time traffic and freight monitoring, enabling proactive urban mobility planning. Simultaneously, it establishes Transport Coalitions and Policy Labs to co-create sustainable transport policies and formalize emission reduction commitments. By linking behavioural change, infrastructure upgrades, and stakeholder collaboration, the project builds a replicable model for low-emission urban mobility. Objectives Deploy smart traffic and freight monitoring systems Establish Transport Coalitions and Policy Labs Promote citizen engagement through carbon tracking tools Support green freight and logistics accreditation Raise awareness via city-wide campaigns and educational programmes ECT = Enabling City Transformation

Modelling Energy Transition Pathways - Miskolc & Pécs pilot activity

Two Hungarian cities — Pécs (population 140,000) and Miskolc (population 155,000) — are jointly building the modelling, data, and governance infrastructure needed for energy transition. Rather than implementing a single intervention, the project creates the tools and institutional architecture that enable data-driven decision-making: digital monitoring systems for emissions and energy, feasibility studies for solar, microgrids, and energy storage, mobility surveys, circular economy assessments, and a Climate Neutrality Platform convening the 26 signatories of Pécs's Climate City Contract.

Pécs: Climate Governance, Circular Economy and Urban Decarbonisation

With a population of 140,000 inhabitants, Pecs has been committed to climate policy for almost a decade, building a structured and institutionalised approach to climate action that supports long-term delivery beyond individual projects or political cycles. Through the implementation of its Sustainable Energy Action Plan, the city achieved a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 compared to 2011, demonstrating early progress through coordinated municipal action. Currently, transport represents the largest share of emissions (35%), followed by electricity (32%) and heating of buildings (25%). This document was prepared in advance of the Group Study Visit to outline the practices to be shared.
