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.
