The Covenant of Mayors is a European initiative that was launched in 2008 by the European Commission with the aim of gathering local governments to implement actions that lead to the achievement of the EU climate and energy targets. At the present, this initiative brings together more than 9000 local and regional governements accross 57 countries, which allows a multi-level model of cooperation.

Last 24 February 2022, our colleagues from Sinloc participated in the event organised by the Covenant of Mayors Office with the title: "Leveraging the potential of local innovation - Covenant cities showing the way", a workshop targetting small islands that took place online. The goal was to present the options that NESOI provides to our participants especially regarding the opportunities for funding.
