ICC Observer Status for the Ukrainian cities

At the presentation of the Ukrainian version of the "Local Green Deals. Action Plan", Ukrainian cities got an opportunity to join the (Intelligent Cities Challenge) ICC Initiative as Observers.

ICC is an initiative that supports the efforts of European cities to plan for the green and digital transition of their local economies through the Local Green Deals tool. Participation in the initiative is especially appropriate for communities that have announced their desire to become climate neutral and are starting to plan their actions.

Ukrainian cities will be able to learn more about the transition, participate in the Initiative's online and in-person events, and join a network of more than 200 European cities. Observer cities will be able to use the same sources of knowledge as EU cities. Therefore, we encourage Ukrainian cities to apply for the status.
