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. | |
C40
mayors, supported by climate experts, business
leaders, youth climate activists and trade unions,
recently launched the Agenda for a Green and Just
Recovery. The report outlines ambitious yet
tangible steps for delivering an equitable and
sustainable future for all as we recover from the
COVID-19 crisis. |

Watch
our video with highlights from the report here. | |
It’s
time to invest in green jobs, foster more
inclusive economies, prioritise public health
& ensure a climate-safe future. Check out our collaboration with
UPWORTHY to see how mayors around the world
are building fairer and more resilient communities
in the wake of COVID-19.

| ILLUSTRATING
A GREEN & JUST RECOVERY
| |
This
summer, C40 commissioned nine amazing artists to
show us their vision of a green and just
recovery from COVID-19. The first in the series
was Hélène Baum, a French/German illustrator and
graphic designer living in Berlin, who said:
“The future I want is rooted in the respect of
all life."
Follow the series on
Instagram, we'll be sharing a new
illustration every
week! | | |
We
can make urban life more accessible, sustainable
and enjoyable by creating 15-minute cities.
Ensuring that residents can meet all their needs
within a short distance will bring us closer to
the future we want.
See what a 15-minute city looks
like. | | |
| 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. | |
As
cities begin developing and implementing COVID-19
recovery plans, there are opportunities to boost
local employment and create large numbers of
high-quality jobs now while building climate-safe,
equitable futures.
