Description

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. It has been created and led by cities and is focused on tackling climate change and driving urban action that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks while increasing the health, wellbeing and economic opportunities of urban citizens.
Objectives	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.
Activities	Adaptation and Water: Climate Risk Assessment, Connecting Delta Cities and Cool Cities • Energy: District Energy, Municipal Building Efficiency and Private Building Efficiency • Finance and Economic Development: Green Growth and Sustainable Infrastructure Finance • Measurement and Planning: Measurement and Reporting • Solid Waste Management: Sustainable Solid Waste Systems and Waste to Resources • Sustainable Communities: Food Systems, Land Use Planning, Low-Carbon Districts, and Transit-Oriented Development • Transportation: Bus Rapid Transit, Low Emission Vehicles, and Mobility Management

Goals

Comments on indicators and goals

Together C40 member cities combined represent a reduction of 0.8 GtCO2e, according to the report: "Individual actors, collective initiatives and their impact on global greenhouse gas emissions", New Climate, PBL, and Yale 2018.

How will goals be achieved

Have you changed or strenghtened your goals

Progress towards the goals

At GCAS in San Francisco 30 cities joined the Inclusive Climate Action (ICA) programme of C40. It provides cities with a clear roadmap and support to plan, build consensus and deliver bold climate action that is equitable and beneficial for all.
