Slovakia

Slovakia currently lacks a formalised national platform for the Cities Mission. Its plan concentrates on establishing and formalising one by creating a Slovak Cities Mission Coordination Group bringing together Mission Cities, mission-minded cities, academia and EU project focal points under clearly defined roles and coordination mechanisms.

KEY PRIORITIES

  • National platform: Create a functional Slovak Cities Mission Coordination Group with defined roles and formalisation.
  • Community of practice: Build structured peer learning and gradually expand participation.
  • City capacity: Strengthen capacity to implement Climate City Contracts, MRV and funding mobilisation.

THEMATIC FOCUS

  • Establishment of a national platform and governance for the Cities Mission.
  • Capacity building for Climate City Contracts and project implementation.
  • Financing readiness and development of city project pipelines.

HOW CAPACITIES 2.0 SUPPORTS SLOVAKIA

  • Capacity-building modules for city transition teams.
  • Structured dialogue with national authorities and thematic working groups.
  • Investment-readiness sessions and engagement with financial stakeholders.
