A small Lithuanian city is borrowing €20 million (about $23 million) to become climate-neutral by 2030

Tauragė, in western Lithuania, is not waiting for capitals to lead. The European Investment Bank is lending the city €20 million (about $23 million) as part of an investment programme worth more than €110 million (about $129 million): 16.9 kilometres of new cycling paths, more zero-emission buses, energy-efficient renovations for schools and public buildings, a revitalised Jūra River waterfront and better water services across the district. 'Every resident will feel the benefits of these investments in their daily lives,' said Mayor Dovydas Kaminskas.
