Representing 700+ million citizens and one quarter of the global economy, mayors of C40 cities are committed to delivering on the most ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement at the local level, as well as to cleaning the air we breathe.
The current chair of C40 is Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo; and three-term Mayor of New York City Michael R. Bloomberg serves as President of the Board.

C40’s work is made possible by the three strategic funders: Bloomberg Philanthropies, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), and Realdania.
Together the Mayors of Paris, Copenhagen, Los Angeles and others will announce the new Chair of C40 Cities and set out a bold vision for the future for how cities will tackle the global climate emergency.
During the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen examples of how cities are already delivering on the need for sustainable and healthier climate solutions will be shown, and as host city, Copenhagen will make visible a wide range of the successful climate solutions that the city already has to offer, as well as how its businesses and citizens are engaging in creating the much needed climate actions.
