C40 Cities is a global network of nearly 100 cities dedicated to climate protection and the creation of just, resilient communities. With a focus on justice, diversity, and inclusion, C40 supports cities in developing innovative climate action plans and implementing sustainable solutions.
C40 is a global network that unites nearly 100 mayors of the world's leading cities to work together against the climate crisis and create a future where everyone, everywhere, can thrive.
The mayors of C40 cities are determined to use a science-based and people-centered approach to limit global warming to 1.5°C and build healthy, just, and resilient communities. C40 is uncompromising in its commitment to justice, diversity, and inclusion, both in recruiting and developing its international workforce and in collaborating with member cities worldwide[2].
C40 is led by a strong leadership team, consisting of Chair, Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, and Board Chair, three-time Mayor of New York City Michael R. Bloomberg. The work of C40 is made possible by strategic funders such as Bloomberg Philanthropies, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), and Realdania[3].
C40 is a shining example of how cities around the world can work together to tackle the most urgent challenges of climate change and create a sustainable, just, and resilient future for all.
