Padova 2030 – Meetings with the neighbourhood councils.

In November 2023 the Municipality of Padova met the citizens to inform them about the climate neutral mission by 2030 and collect their proposals. The three meetings involved the neighbourhood councils, an instrument to enable citizens to actively participate in the life and choices that affect neighborhoods, in the management of common goods, and in the social and cultural life of the places where people live and work.

During the workshops the representatives of the councils pointed out the possibility to support the Municipality in raising awareness, providing information and in promoting the activation of Renewable Energy Communities. Moreover, the neighbourhood councils manage own little municipal budget; during the meetings they expressed the interest to sustain projects for climate neutrality with the citizens as beneficiaries.
