Join Us

Bielsko-Biała has been a member of the Association for over 20 years, which has led to numerous joint projects in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and air and climate protection. Throughout the implementation of these initiatives, we have gained valuable knowledge and skills, which we have also shared with others. The contacts established through these efforts have often proven to be invaluable. As a result, Bielsko became one of the pioneering Polish cities to join the Covenant of Mayors. By carrying out the commitments of the action plan developed at that time for CO₂ emission reduction, the city has become particularly renowned for its extensive and systematic environmental education initiatives.

Bydgoszcz's long-standing and active participation in the Association enables us to gain insight into the modern approaches other cities take towards climate protection and initiatives aimed at improving energy efficiency.

The practical and educational experiences that result directly from involvement in these projects translate into a number of valuable initiatives undertaken by my colleagues. One such initiative was the establishment of a Department within the City Office dedicated to this kind of collaboration, including at the international level – an endeavour I wholeheartedly encourage.

Rafał Bruski, Mayor of Bydgoszcz

Being a member of the Polish Network "Energie Cités" is both highly motivating and rewarding for us. Together, we have carried out numerous projects in the field of sustainable energy, including educational activities in schools within the EURONET 50/50 max project, a conference combined with a field game, and participation in training sessions organised by the Association. We are pleased that "Energie Cités" has recognised many of our projects as good practices worthy of promotion among other network members.

Roman Ptak, Mayor of the Municipality of Niepołomice

I hold the Association's activities in very high regard. For many years, the Sztum Municipality has been committed to the development of renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and reducing CO₂ emissions. Through the Association, we have gained access to good practices both domestically and internationally, as well as knowledge and practical skills to solve specific problems. We have broadened our horizons and spread our wings, learning from the achievements of Polish local governments while also sharing our own accomplishments. This is an organisation I would highly recommend to any local authority.

Leszek Tabor, Mayor of the Municipality of Sztum

In Warsaw, we are creating an atmosphere and the conditions necessary for residents to engage in a wide range of activities. We want the capital to be a welcoming place for everyone to live, work, and relax. Our goal is to build a truly open, European metropolis. Membership in the Association helps us achieve our objectives. We cooperate and exchange experiences with other municipalities, while also analysing how to address challenges so that Warsaw develops in the most planned and sustainable way possible. The capital has been participating in the Association's initiatives for nine years. During this time, we have drawn on numerous inspirations on how to manage energy in a modern and efficient manner.

Rafał Trzaskowski, Mayor of Warsaw

The City of Ełk has been collaborating with the Association for over 20 years. Together, we strive for the sustainable development of our city by undertaking numerous pro-environmental initiatives that protect its natural assets. We utilise renewable energy sources, provide environmental education for residents, and prioritise a sustainable urban energy policy. With the support of the Association, we implement innovative measures to save energy and protect the climate, drawing on the best European and national practices. Our goal is to achieve a high quality of life for our residents while preserving social equality, the richness of natural resources, and biological diversity.

Tomasz Andrukiewicz, Mayor of Ełk
