- The minimum goal is to secure 15 commitments from Slovak towns, cities and regions to join the Race to Zero.
- They are seeking a partner to deliver this goal by organising a COVID secure, engaging and informative event that will:
- inspire municipalities to take action
- educate municipalities on the campaign and how they can join
- advise municipalities on how to create and implement a strategy for a municipality to become carbon neutral

- designing the event and programme including identifying topics, speakers and moderators for the discussions
- identifying, recruiting and liaising with participants from across Slovakia, including developing a communications plan
- delivering the event in a Covid-19 secure manner (implementers should outline how they would achieve this (e.g. online/ hybrid/ in person))
- production of a report following the event to summarise the outcome of the discussions and recommended next steps
- design and implement plans to sustain the impact of the event to secure as many commitments to join the Race to Zero as possible
