A proud moment for the World Energy Cities Partnership💪

Cape Town, Perth, Houston and Esbjerg are now represented in the World Economic Forum’s Transitioning Industrial Clusters initiative.

Across continents, these cities are showing how industrial strength can drive the energy transition. They are advancing clean hydrogen, transforming heavy industry and building the foundations for competitive low carbon economies.

This is city leadership in action:
