C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group Inc. C40 is a network of nearly 100 mayors from the world's leading cities, working to implement the urgent action needed now to confront the climate crisis and create a future where everyone, everywhere can thrive. C40 city mayors are committed to using a science-based, people-centered approach to limit global warming in line with the Paris Agreement and build healthy, equitable, and resilient communities. Through a New Global Covenant of Mayors, mayors are working in partnership with a broad coalition of labor, business, youth climate movement, and civil society representatives to go further and faster than ever before. The current chairs of C40 are the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, in the United Kingdom, and the Mayor of Freetown, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, in Sierra Leone; former three-term Mayor of New York City, Michael R.
