The Principality of Monaco was given the European Energy Award for Climate Action.

Updated: 5 hours ago

A unique international non-profit association, based in Brussels, gathers energy efficiency leaders, involving various European Energy Award Gold cities and communities as members. The European Energy Awards (EEA) aims at developing programmes, platforms and tools to be applied at international, national and local level. Thus, municipalities and regions are fully involved in the cause, together with global partners.


The Principality of Monaco has recently being acknowledged as a win-win EEA Gold member, being ranked 80.2% to pay tribute to the great commitment shown by the Principality’s Gouvernement Princier and civil society towards energy transition and climate action. Monaco was awarded on the 28th November 2024 during the official annual ceremony set in Bolzano, South Tyrol (Northern Italy).

The result achieved is remarkable and it places Monaco among the few countries to receive it, worldwide, reinforcing its mission to reduce its carbon footprint .

Monaco, in fact, is pursuing ambitious goals to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (compared with 1990), and then reach carbon neutrality by 2050, according to the National Energy Transition Pact. The whole Monegasque community is mobilised to act and promote eco-friendly behaviours. And the Mission for Energy Transition, held in 2016 within the Ministry of Public Works, Environment and Urban Development, is being fostering targeted initiatives, workshops and training courses to accelerate the process.


The EEA's approach, jointly developed with Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Switzerland, is the result of a cross-cutting multilateral collaboration. Creating a network of mutual working on shared values is an added benefit to design a more sustainable future for the present and the next generations. ***
