"EU's policies need a stronger role of regions and cities.
The EU has developed a strategy to deal with the triple planetary crisis: climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.
The #EUGreenDeal needs to go global."

“Going green 🍃 is the only way forward, but it isn't easy for any city and region.
Our task is to implement the #GreenDeal with a strong 💪 social dimension, turning fear into hope and decline into growth.”
@KTutto
In Budapest today, kicking off the day by meeting w/ the Mayor @bpkaracsonyg & Deputy Mayor @KTutto.
Great discussion about this city’s success story.
Budapest is an inclusive & European city.
Wishing good luck to the Mayor, and looking forward to continue working together.🇪🇺🇭🇺
“In these challenging times, 🇪🇺 sets ambitious goals: cutting CO2 emissions, adapting to changing conditions, climate neutrality, embracing circular economy & protecting biodiversity.
It's cities & regions that are paving the way.
It's mayors leading the change.”
@KTutto
“A strong 🌹 #Europe is:
1⃣ not about more power to Brussels, but strong cities & regions who are reserves of democracy, innovation and ambition
2⃣ a #SafePlace4Women
We need a Europe that understand us, our fears, our dreams and builds on our merits”
🗨️ @ktutto at #PESCongress
In Hungary 🇭🇺 Discussed with Mayor of Budapest @bpkaracsonyg and Deputy Mayor @KTutto the urgent need for more affordable housing and using EU funds properly as they do.
Then we visited an EU-funded project which is helping turn a disused school building into affordable flats.
🌏 #COP28UAE IS OVER
For the first time, the @UN climate talks have addressed the need to stop burning fossil fuels.
But it's not enough!
Still no acknowledgment to ultimately phase them out. A clean planet for all needs decisive actions.
Cities and regions call for action NOW.
Deputy Mayor Kata Tüttő: "In Budapest, we are creating a new model of city, different from Orban's model: one with affordable housing and green spaces. Our flags are the Hungarian flag and the European flag".
