The future we want is bright ☀️

                                  
                             
                       
                 
           
                                 Mark your calendars! The C40 World Mayors Summit will be held in Copenhagen on October 9th-12th!    
                             
                                  
                             
                                 
                             
                                 In March, more than one million young people participated in thousands of climate strikes all around the world. The next global day of action is May 24th – learn how to get involved at fridaysforfuture.org  
                             
                                  
                                  
                             
                                  
                                  
                             
                                These young climate strikers know that the climate crisis requires urgent and immediate action at a global scale. C40 cities around the globe recognize this urgency – many are already feeling the impact of climate change. Our mayors are taking action and have adopted ambitious climate action plans in line with the Paris Agreement, but there is more for all of us to do.
