C40 is a network of nearly 100 mayors of the world's leading cities, working to deliver urgent action needed now to confront the climate crisis and create a future where everyone, everywhere can thrive. C40 city mayors are committed to 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 Global Green New Deal, 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. Bloomberg, is the current Board President. C40's work is made possible by our two strategic funders: Bloomberg Philanthropies and Realdania.

Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) is the world's largest coalition of city climate leaders, bringing together a global coalition of over 13,800 cities and local governments, along with more than 100 partner organizations. Covenant cities and partners share a long-term vision: to support voluntary action to address climate change and move towards a resilient, low-carbon society. GCoM supports cities and local governments by mobilizing and promoting ambitious, measurable, and planned climate and energy actions in their communities, in collaboration with city and regional networks, national governments, and other strategic partners. The coalition is currently led by the UN Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, Michael R. Bloomberg, and the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, Teresa Ribera. GCoM is present in cities on six continents and in 147 countries, representing over 1 billion people, or more than 13% of the world's population.

Context of the Mutirão Brasil Program The Mutirão Brasil Program is an initiative implemented by C40 Cities and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, which seeks to accelerate the implementation of climate solutions in Brazilian cities. Through the partnership between local governments and the Federal Government, the program supports municipalities and states in developing projects and actions in areas such as sustainable urban mobility, waste management, climate action in the Amazon, climate finance, climate budgeting, and the use of data for decision-making. One of the program's axes concerns sustainable mobility projects, which aims to develop projects that prioritize active mobility and public transport and incorporate elements of urban adaptation, such as nature-based solutions (NbS). Five cities make up this axis: Belém/PA, Contagem/MG, Maranguape/CE, Salvador/BA, and Serra/ES. Each has a larger-scale project, but within the scope of Mutirão Brasil, they will receive support for the implementation of a pilot in a priority area. The present Terms of Reference specifically refers to the cities of Maranguape (CE) and Serra (ES), for which specialized consulting services will be contracted for the development of basic urban road design projects. 4. Technical Partner – WRI Brasil WRI Brasil works to enable a sustainable development model that ensures a more equitable society and the conservation of ecosystems, through innovative and integrated low-carbon solutions, based on scientific rigor.
