Paris, Mexico City and C40’s City Diplomacy Programme recently participated in the United Nations’ Talanoa Dialogue, an unprecedented opportunity for cities and all other members of civil society to assess our global efforts in relation to the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

For this week’s Awards spotlight, we’re focusing on the #Cities4Action finalists that prioritize sustainability and climate action in the long term. 

Cities around the world are developing innovative projects to improve mobility. These projects are making cities more environmentally-friendly, more inclusive, and more people-centric, while addressing the twin challenges of growing urbanisation and intensifying climate change.

Local governments encounter diverse obstacles to financing climate actions, because we typically depend on national resources. In this context, cities have to innovate and find solutions to finance our climate action programs. Mexico City is committed to this effort, and in December 2016, we became the first city in Latin America to issue a Green Bond for $1 billion pesos (US $50 million).
