The FINANCIAL — The second conference of the Covenant of Mayors East signatory cities gathered more than 100 participants in Belarus to discuss innovative approaches to climate and energy actions.
Ivan Schedrenko, an expert for the Covenant of Mayors East in Belarus and Director of Interakcia Foundation, said that more than 20 Belarusian towns will have come to the end of their Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) by the end of 2018, and they are looking for different options in terms of financing the planned actions. The Covenant of Mayors East office in Belarus is going to offer the necessary assistance in accessing funding from international donors and financial organisations.
The Covenant of Mayors East is a flagship EU initiative to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 30% by 2030. It helps municipalities to prepare and implement Sustainable Energy Action Plans, reducing dependency on fossil fuels, improving the security of energy supply, and allowing them to contribute more actively to climate change mitigation.
