The American Cities Climate Challenge is an unprecedented opportunity for 25 ambitious cities to significantly deepen and accelerate their efforts to tackle climate change and promote a sustainable future for their residents.
The Mission of the Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) is to serve cities and local governments by mobilizing and supporting climate and energy action in their communities by working with city/ regional networks, national governments, and other partners.
To achieve the ambitious targets of the Paris Climate Agreement, the Challenge is structured around two priority areas: buildings, which focuses on reduced energy use, increased renewable energy supply and building electrification and transportation, targeting reductions in vehicle miles traveled and electric vehicles. Both priority areas are grounded in an effort to ensure equity and inclusion across city climate actions.
