Document Summary

C40 climate leadership group, a network of 63 cities that focuses on implementing meaningful and sustainable climate-related actions locally that will help address climate change globally . C40 brings together cities with a combined population of over 540 million. C40 cities account for 8% of global population, generate nearly 20% of global gdp and produce over 10% of annual global. Whereas international negotiations have run into the brick wall of the collective action problem, city- networks like the c40 base coordination on the pursuit of common bene ts and search for ways to unlock investment and drive local transformation. As noted above, the c40 is premised on the concept of power with rather than power in opposition to one another. Rather than re-producing the institutional form of inter-state relations, cities have forged novel governance frameworks that are premised on collaboration and voluntary coordination. most cities, as energy consumers, face material incentives to reduce energy and resource consumption.
