C40

C40 is a global network of large metropolitan cities taking action to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and risks of a changing climate

Develop and implement policies and programs that generate measurable and verifiable reductions in both ghg emissions and climate risks; provide participating cities opportunities to exchange proven city-driven initiatives, access to world class research, technical expertise and key partners;

The C40 works directly with the Mayors of large cities and City Governments in a range of program areas under City Government control including but not limited to: -energy efficiency, renewable energy, transportation, waste, public engagement, urban greening, economic development and water. The C40 works with global partners such as the Clinton Climate Initiative, the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and recently signed an MOU with the World Bank to improve access for cities to climate finance and technical assistance.
