World Mayors Summit 2025

3-5 November 2025

Together, the 2025 World Mayors Summit and COP30 mark a critical phase in global climate action: moving from negotiation to accelerated delivery. Mayors will meet to put their climate progress on record through the Yearly Offer of Action.

Cities will show what’s been achieved, what’s next, and how delivery will accelerate. This proof of progress builds momentum heading into COP30 to drive the urgent, concrete action needed to protect the people and places we love.

For 20 years, C40 has championed cities as the catalysts for climate action.

Our mayors set the pace for climate action. They deliver results on the ground and drive change on the world stage.

23 % of the global economy is represented in C40 cities
100 million+ people are breathing cleaner air across C40 cities
50 million green jobs are on track to be created by 2050

We help cities move forward and move fast

Our 97 cities represent nearly a quarter of the global economy. Together, we design, test, and improve solutions that raise the standard for everyone.

We act to cut emissions, build resilience, and advance justice

To be a member of C40, cities must show measurable progress on each of these three missions: cutting emissions by halving fossil fuels by 2030, building resilience, and advancing justice in city climate action.

Collective accountability in delivering the missions is the force that drives every city forward.
