🏙️ Local governments drive most climate solutions, from heating homes to transport emissions. Progress is happening, but it must accelerate, with stronger knowledge, equity, and citizen involvement in local decisions. 🌱🤝

National action shows the power of multi-level governance: Moldova’s new climate law creates a solid shared framework, while Croatia proves coordinated action across all levels prevents silos and strengthens real climate delivery. 🌱🌍
