On Friday 9 February, REPER21 – the European Network for Promoting a Responsible Economy in the
\n21st Century as national coordinator organised the hybrid event dedicated to the European Climate
\nPact.
\nThe European Climate Pact is the framework that ensures awareness and citizen action on climate
\nchange mitigation and adaptation.
\nEvery year, the European Commission selects Climate Ambassadors based on an action plan, and
\nBorboly Csaba, President of Harghita County Council, is one of the 31 Climate Ambassadors in Romania.
\nDuring the event, the climate initiatives in Harghita County were discussed, in this context it was
\nconsidered an example of best practice.
\nThus, Borboly Csaba, President of Harghita County Council, present online at the event, underlined :
\n"Over the last two years, since the launch of the Climate Pact Ambassadorship, we have witnessed the
\nimpressive mobilization of members and local communities in achieving our common goals. However, it
\nis essential to underline the need for increased support from the European Commission and to
\nstrengthen the role of local and regional authorities in energy and climate governance. As a member of
\nthe European Committee of the Regions, responsible for coordinating activities related to the European
\nGreen Pact, I have had the privilege of being rapporteur of opinions on climate action. These include
\nissues such as the socially equitable implementation of the Green Deal and resource efficiency
\nopportunities in the buildings sector."
\nBorboly Csaba is currently working on the opinion on the protection of biodiversity and coexistance with
\nlarge carnivores in Europe, highlighting the importance of biodiversity and the need to protect it.
\nHarghita County Council has joined the European Committee of the Regions' "Trees for Life" campaign,
\nwhich aims to plant 50,000 seedlings annually, in line with the European Commission's target of planting
\n3 billion trees by 2030.
\nBorboly Csaba encouraged those present to get actively involved in Climate Pact initiatives such as the
\nClimate Walk, an initiative developed this year to involve citizens in climate action.
\n"As the organiser of a similar event last year, I can confirm that these actions are beneficial in every way,
\nhelping to strengthen the local community and raise awareness about climate change. As Climate
\nAmbassadors we need to ensure that we have adequate political visibility to successfully promote the
\nobjectives of the Green Deal at local and regional level", added Borboly Csaba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
