Selected Twin Cities will embark on a tailor-made learning program. Over the course of 20 months, Pilot and Twin Cities will be brought together to exchange and build the capacities of the latter group with the help of facilitation support from NetZeroCities. &#8220;Not only will Twin Cities learn from the innovative activities driven forward by Pilot Cities, but the reverse will also take place&#8221;, the program promises. &#8220;A peer learning framework will ensure that both groups benefit from being matched up.&#8221; The learning program will cover three facilitated modules to guide the conversation toward impact: Getting Started, Co-creating, and Capitalising. At its end, the shared journey should result in a &#8216;Replication Plan&#8217; for each Twin City, which they can implement in their own local context.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-d0babc08\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/key-to-climate-neutral-europe-lies-with-local-governments\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Key to climate-neutral Europe lies with local governments\u00a0\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Key to climate-neutral Europe lies with local governments\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Three-quarters of Europeans live in an urban area.
