Dear Colleagues, dear Partners and dear Friends,

By the end of the year, Energy Day was held in the village of Vornichen, Straseni district. This event marked the first year of the village’s participation in the Covenant of Mayors, the largest European initiative on energy and climate at the local level.

Moldovan Signatories of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy are in the focus of this issue. How does it work in the country? You will learn about the progress of Moldova on the way to fulfilling the commitments undertaken under the CoM initiative. The newsletter presents a new exchange programme City2City recently launched by the CoM East project team to establish a platform for sharing experience between municipalities. Also, it informs about the first meetings of the Municipal Development Coordination Platform, so called or Covenant of Mayors Club, held in most of the EaP countries. Finally, the issue briefly describes the most important capacity building, information and communication activities carried out by the CoM East project experts in the Eastern Partnership countries.
