An estimated 70 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions come from cities. Rapid urbanization is expected to continue, intensifying even further the energy use in the cities. Yet there is also an opportunity. Cities are also where the greatest energy efficiencies can take place. Learn more about how cities are tackling climate change – with innovative approaches to improving city management and service delivery, to encouraging green growth.
A climate action plan is a strategic document (or series of plans and documents) that demonstrates how a city will deliver on its commitment to address climate change. C40 is rolling out an extensive programme of support to help cities align their climate action plans with objectives of the Paris Agreement. Our support will comprise a Climate Action Planning Framework (CAP Framework) and technical assistance programme.

Healthy ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and farms are nature's water infrastructure. They are essential for buffering against floods and the provision of clean, ample water around the world – feeding growth in agriculture, industry, and cities. But unlike traditional pipes and pumps, “natural” infrastructure projects are rarely able to take advantage of bond financing by cities, companies and utilities.
Each tier of government, including the national, regional and local levels, has a unique and potentially complementary role to play in delivering low emission and climate resilient development. This means that effectively coordinated multilevel action can help nations implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This joint policy briefing explores the need for enhanced multilevel governance to implement the NDCs.
This manual provides guidance and best practices on how to use data for developing and implementing policy on building energy efficiency. The primary audience for this manual are the C40 cities in the Private Building Efficiency (PBE) network and the Municipal Building Efficiency (MBE) network. Most of the guidance is applicable to both PBE and MBE networks. Where guidance is specific to PBE or MBE, it is called out accordingly. The users of the manual include city policy makers, efficiency program administrators and data analysts as well as external consultants supporting them.
