🇬🇧 English

This declaration urges the EU to move faster on clean, secure and affordable energy while reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels. It links recent energy price volatility to geopolitical tensions and argues that renewable energy, electrification, energy efficiency and stronger grids are central to Europe’s resilience and competitiveness. The practical focus is on local and regional authorities, households, SMEs and energy-poor communities. The declaration calls for faster permitting, priority treatment for key energy projects, better coordination between EU, national and local levels, and support for regions and cities that carry much of the burden of the energy transition.
