Polish cities can apply to the LeadAir program for climate neutrality. Its purpose is to support local governments in achieving climate neutrality. The program will help achieve this goal through individual, long-term consultancy of experts, exchange of knowledge and experience, and proposing practical solutions tailored to the specifics and needs of a given city.

LeadAir aims to help cities, which play a key role in the pursuit of climate neutrality, not only in achieving this goal. It will also allow them to significantly reduce air pollution. 15 cities will receive free technical support to achieve climate neutrality. The application process for the third program organized by Forum of Energy started on January 10 and will end on February 9.

The program will last 6 months and after its completion, cities will have permanent access to specialist training and experts. The third program LeadAir consists of a series of trainings and webinars, but above all, individual meetings with specialists ready to work with cities on solving problems in specific areas, such as heating, energy, transport, management and communication.

Today Polish cities are taking leading positions in air pollution rankings. The data of the European Environment Agency indicates that about 90% of European city dwellers are exposed to concentrations of ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) that can endanger human health.

In previous LeadAir programs, Forum of Energy worked with 30 cities, implementing 30 individual consulting processes, 90 hours of workshops and training sessions, and 12 webinars, the publication of original analyzes, cooperating with 75 experts.
