Republic of Moldova

Moldova’s national platform, coordinated by the National Agency for Research and Development (NARD), will initially establish an internal coordination mechanism, formally launch the platform and develop a basic governance framework. It serves as an emerging space for dialogue and cooperation on climate-neutral cities, aligned with the EU Cities Mission and Moldova’s European integration. No Moldovan cities currently participate as Mission Cities.
