C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group

C40 Cities is a network of the world’s megacities committed to addressing climate change. This grant aims to move forward policy implementation toward zero-emission areas and transport electrification in C40 cities. C40 will connect ongoing technical support with mayoral engagement, coordinate global and regional campaigning opportunities, and deliver targeted resources. (Substrategy: Electrification)

C40 Cities is a global network of mayors taking urgent action to confront the climate crisis and create a future where everyone can thrive. This project will help strengthen and elevate learning about how low-carbon policy, designs, and investments can lead to prosperous outcomes for Chinese cities. It will also support learnings, exchanges, and cooperation outside of China. (Substrategy: China National Policy)

C40 works to support Chinese city climate action plans and implementation. As China’s climate paradigm shifted from central government policy change to sub-national implementation, the role of Chinese cities and mayors in ensuring substantial emissions reduction has become increasingly significant. This project will help strengthen city mayors’ political will through a better understanding and demonstration of a new growth model that’s built upon low-carbon policy, designs, and investments. It will also scale up Chinese city climate actions through C40’s network of Chinese and international mayors and their learnings, exchanges, and cooperation. (Substrategy: China National Policy)
