Riga has undertaken the commitment of becoming climate-neutral by 2030, as evidenced by Riga’s participation in the EU Mission for 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 (‘Mission’) and the ambitions integrated into the city’s development planning documents.
Sustainability has been important in Riga since 2008, when it was the first European capital to join the Covenant of Mayors. In 2021, Riga signed the Paris Declaration on Climate Change and renewed its commitment to the Covenant of Mayors as part of its continued implementation of climate mitigation and adaptation measures and as a sign of its ambition to continue with them.
Participation in the Mission enables Riga to learn extensively from other cities with similar ambitions, helps it mobilise the necessary experts in the field, and makes it possible to update the city’s plans towards sustainable development, raising additional funding, which is one of the main obstacles to consistent emission reductions.
