Mayors will promote building with nature to prioritise ‘nature based solutions’ such as:
🌳Parks
🏡Green roofs
🛣Permeable pavements

To reduce the risks of extreme heat, drought and flooding, & improve liveability and physical and mental health.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

COVID-19 is a global crisis — no city or country is safe. Sharing resources and information is how we're going to get through this together. Thank you to my fellow @C40Cities mayors for convening virtually to pool our knowledge and advice on COVID-19 response.

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

Cities account for more than 70% of global emissions & consume 2/3 of the world's energy.

By 2050, 2/3 of all people will live in a city.

To win the fight against #ClimateChange, we must make the transition to sustainable, low-emission cities.
