About C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a network of the world’s megacities committed to addressing climate change and driving urban action that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks. Founded in 2005, C40 connects 97 of the world’s greatest cities, representing over 700 million citizens and one-quarter of the global economy.

C40 aims to inspire cities to take bold climate action through sharing knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions. The organization focuses on key areas such as sustainable transportation, energy efficiency, waste management, and climate resilience.

By collaborating with city leaders, C40 helps to develop and implement policies that promote sustainability and enhance the quality of life for urban residents. The group also engages with businesses, NGOs, and other stakeholders to foster a comprehensive approach to climate action.

Through initiatives like the Deadline 2020 campaign, C40 encourages cities to commit to ambitious climate goals and track their progress. The organization provides tools and resources to help cities measure their emissions and develop effective strategies for reduction.

C40’s vision is to create a sustainable urban future where cities are not only resilient to climate impacts but also thrive economically and socially. By leveraging the collective power of its member cities, C40 aims to influence global climate policy and drive systemic change.

With headquarters in London, UK, C40 continues to expand its reach and impact, fostering collaboration among cities worldwide to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change.
