Seville and its metropolitan area are among the European urban regions on the front line of global warming. Its latitude and climate place it in an area with a high incidence of rising temperatures and adverse climate scenarios, including droughts, heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and river flooding.

In line with the Sustainable Development Goals, Seville has set itself the strategic objective of reducing emissions and combating climate change, with particular emphasis on actions that impact sustainability, environmental adaptation, and decarbonisation. In this context, the city is promoting a rigorous emissions-reduction strategy and leading an energy transition towards a more sustainable model, based on renewable energy sources, energy savings, and more rational management of the transport of people and goods.

Achieving this objective requires improvements in energy efficiency and effectiveness across all areas of urban life, including transport; the construction, renovation, and maintenance of public and private buildings; street lighting; and waste management. In parallel, Seville is promoting the development of distributed renewable energy production, with a particular focus on photovoltaic electricity generation in buildings. To this end, the city facilitates and provides economic incentives for the installation of solar panels and the self-consumption of electricity in both public and private buildings.

The use of clean energy sources for public and private transport is also encouraged, alongside the development of the necessary infrastructure. In addition, actions aimed at improving thermal comfort in public spaces are being implemented to better protect citizens from extreme heat.

Enabling Massive Change for Climate-Neutral Cities - Spanish cities ECT activity

Spanish Mission Cities must rapidly scale up deep energy renovation to meet 2030 climate targets. However, progress is hindered by fragmented efforts, regulatory complexity, limited financing, and governance misalignment. Building on the URBANEW pilot, this project unites six cities to co-develop integrated, city-wide missions that align local, regional, and national actors. By embedding social inclusion into urban regeneration, the project aims to mainstream large-scale building decarbonisation, foster citizen co-creation, and generate replicable models for systemic transformation across Europe. Objectives Accelerate deep energy renovation across residential and public buildings Align governance, policy, and financing frameworks to enable systemic change Establish a Mission Cities Alliance for shared learning and replication Strengthen citizen participation in urban transformation Develop shared tools for impact measurement and adaptive decision- making ECT = Enabling City Transformation

Multi-stakeholder Solutions for Urban Innovative & Systemic Regeneration: Spanish cities pilot activity

Seven Spanish cities worked together to accelerate urban regeneration through inclusive retrofitting, energy innovation, and citizen participation. URBANEW focused on co-designing renovation strategies with residents, promoting bio-based construction, supporting vulnerable groups, and building local capacity. By aligning regulatory, financial, and social levers, the consortium created models for deep decarbonisation of the built environment designed for Southern European conditions. Cities involved: Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Vitoria-Gasteix, Valladolid, Zaragoza.
