*[Enwl-eng] Cities after COVID-19: No return to “business as usual”

[ENWLine]

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 The Global Mayors COVID-19 Recovery Task Force recently launched a Statement of Principles for a green economic recovery that says we cannot return to business as usual. Instead, we must strive to build a better, more sustainable, more resilient and more equitable society out of our recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. At the time of sending this newsletter, almost 40 cities from around the world have endorsed the statement. C40’s strategy to support our cities and their residents as they recover from COVID-19 will be governed by 9 principles focused on promoting equity, enhancing public services, creating jobs for a new economy, and improving resilience to protect against future threats, and more.
