How Cities Are Balancing COVID-19 Response and Recovery




                              As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we have 
shifted the focus of the C40 Newsletter to highlight global cities 
responding to the virus and planning an equitable and sustainable recovery 
for our people, our planet, and our economies.



                              MAYORS IN ACTION


                              On April 29, the 11 C40 mayors who make up our 
newly launched Global Mayors COVID-19 Recovery Task Force convened for the 
first time. Ahead of the meeting, Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan and chair of 
the Task Force, emphasized the importance of the diverse group of mayors and 
what recovery must entail:

                              “I am honoured to chair such an outstanding 
group of mayors in our quest for the best recovery strategy for cities after 
the COVID-19 pandemic. We know we do not want to take any steps back from 
our commitment on creating more sustainable, more equitable and healthier 
cities. We know we do not want to leave any fellow citizen behind. Our 
cities face an unprecedented challenge now and we are motivated to draw from 
our collective experience to provide support and guidance to mayors around 
the world. We must be ambitious and focused as well as creative. I thank 
fellow mayors for their trust and collaboration.”

                              UPDATES FROM THE C40 KNOWLEDGE HUB

                              The C40 Knowledge Hub is being regularly 
updated with resources and articles for cities seeking to better understand 
and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The expanding library includes policy 
briefs, profiles of city solutions, commentary from mayors and city 
decision-makers, and more.




                              Some cities where the virus has been under 
control are preparing for the possibility of a transition out of lockdown 
and considering how to keep people safe until there is a global solution to 
COVID-19.

                              Guided by lessons from the Ebola outbreak, 
Freetown Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr acted early to develop and implement a 
COVID-19 plan focused on protecting vulnerable communities.

                              To avoid understaffing in hospitals, cities 
must have measures in place to protect healthcare workers and support the 
workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic.

                              San Francisco Mayor London Breed responded 
quickly and aggressively to the COVID-19 pandemic.

                              To mitigate the economic downturn from 
COVID-19 and containment measures, cities are focused on supporting local 
businesses.
