What We Do For Cities

Group Mayors Summit to present groundbreaking projects they have implemented to
combat climate change in their cities.

Direct Assistance
1
On-The-Ground Support To Cities
C40 provides experienced regional and local staff to support C40 Cities in defining,
advancing and championing their climate activities. In some C40 Cities, we have
City Directors who are organised around a regional structure to respond
dynamically to local priorities and collective opportunities.

Expert Consultative Services

C40 also provides expertise to cities to design and implement climate policies,
programs and high-impact projects across a number of initiative areas. This
expanding area of support, provided by an in-house consulting team and third-party
partners, is available to work with the expertise already resident in C40 Cities to
pursue local sustainability agendas.

Peer-to-Peer Exchange
 Facilitated Peer-To-Peer Exchange
2 C40 provides a robust platform for peer-to-peer exchange where groups of C40
Cities that share specific interests and challenges can come together to learn from
each other and identify shared resource needs.

Face-To-Face And Virtual Events, Workshops And Networking

C40 organises a biannual C40 Summit and works with participating cities to build a
calendar of regular, topic-specific workshops and events and virtual learning that are
driven by work happening on the ground.

Research & Communications

3 C40 provides a research and knowledge management service to its cities; and
uses data from across the network to identify successes and challenges, and
measure the progress of the organisation.

C40 has a professional communications team in place that gives us the ability to
champion the collective and individual action of C40 Cities by broadcasting our
achievements at the highest levels.
