Summary

"The new coalition, The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, formally brings together the Compact of Mayors and the Covenant of Mayors, the world’s two primary initiatives of cities to assist cities and local governments in their transition to a low-carbon economy, and demonstrate their global impact. With the support of global and regional city networks, including C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, United Cities and Local Governments, Climate Alliance, Energy Cities, and Eurocities, the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy represents the strongest and clearest signal to national governments that cities are not only acting to stop the effects of climate change, they are leading and leading together."
