UPV-City

Valencia has been chosen by the European Commission as one of the 100 climate-neutral European cities (Climate Neutral Cities Mission). In total, seven Spanish cities are integrated into the European Cities Mission (Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, València, Valladolid, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Zaragoza), closely coordinated on the CitiES 2030 platform, led by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and facilitated by the Horizon Europe project ‘NetZeroCities’.

The UPV supports the València 2030 mission, as does the University of Valencia. The UPV’s participation in the Mission has yielded initiatives such as the UPV Living Lab, a laboratory on campus to achieve the UPV’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.

In this context, the Chair participates in the following initiatives:

  • Annual conferences of UPV researchers who participate in the UPV-City binomial and in the Valencia climate mission
  • Generation of decarbonization scenarios for the UPV in 2040
  • Survey of the university community on decarbonization measures at the UPV
  • Support for the UPV Living lab
  • Participation in the Valencia Green Employment Group
