|Description=C40 is a network of the world's megacities taking action to addressing climate change. C40 supports cities to collaborate effectively, share knowledge and drive meaningful, measurable and sustainable action on climate change.

|Goals=Use knowledge‐sharing and metrics‐driven implementation to achieve measurable and meaningful reductions in both greenhouse gas emissions and risks associated with climate change, along with realising the local benefits of these solutions: cleaner air and water, lower energy costs, less trafficc congestion, higher quality of life, longer lifespans, green jobs and green businesses.

Set actionable, measurable goals at the individual city level and the organisational level to ensure actions and outputs are equating to success.
