C40 Cities & Consumption-Based Emissions

A look into your future.

Founded in 2005, C40 is a global network of nearly 100 Mayors of the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis - i.e. they are all following the same agenda.

The current C40 chair is London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, who took over from Los Angeles Mayor, Eric Garcetti.

Together we can and we must utilise the power of cities across the globe and continue to lead the charge when it comes to tackling the climate crisis, taking the necessary action now – not in 10, 20 or 30 years time – but now.

Mayors of C40 cities probably didn’t inform you they were part of an organisation, telling them what to do, when you voted for them. But these mayors are committed to “using an inclusive, science-based and collaborative approach to cut their fair share of emissions in half by 2030, help the world limit global heating to 1.5C and build healthy, equitable and resilient communities.

C40 cities include London, Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, Warsaw, Athens, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Tokoyo, Seoul, Beijing, Delhi, Singapore, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Dar es Salam, Lagos, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and many more.

But what does this mean for you or your family if you live in one of these cities? A recent report, which has since been deleted, explains all.
