COVID-19: What C40 & Global Cities Are Doing


                              As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the C40 
Newsletter will shift its focus to highlight global cities responding to the 
virus and planning an equitable and sustainable recovery for our people, our 
planet, and our economies. Read our full statement on COVID-19 from 
Executive Director Mark Watts.




                              MAYORS IN ACTION


                              During a weekly mayoral webinar on April 15, 
C40 announced the launch of the Global Mayors COVID-19 Recovery Task Force.

                              “Mayors are always on the front lines in the 
face of any challenge, and the COVID-19 crisis is no exception — as our 
cities have taken swift action to respond to this pandemic, protect the 
health of our communities, and save lives,” said Eric Garcetti, C40 Chair 
and Mayor of Los Angeles. “We remain focused on the immediate health crisis, 
but we have to start planning for the recovery — and this task force will 
give us a venue to collaborate on the smart solutions needed to preserve 
public health, restart our economies, and keep forging a path to a more 
sustainable and equitable future.”

                              The global task force will be led by C40 
Vice-Chair and Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, and will include 
representatives of mayors from every region within the C40 network.
