| 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.

On
April 29, the 11 C40 mayors who make up our newly
launched Global Mayors COVID-19 Recovery Task
Force convened for the first time. Ahead of the
meeting, Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan and
chair of the Task Force, emphasized the
importance of the diverse group of mayors and what
recovery must entail:
“I am
honoured to chair such an outstanding group of
mayors in our quest for the best recovery strategy
for cities after the COVID-19 pandemic.
We know we do not want to take any steps back from
our commitment on creating more sustainable, more
equitable and healthier cities. We know we do not
want to leave any fellow citizen behind. Our
cities face an unprecedented challenge now and we
are motivated to draw from our collective
experience to provide support and guidance to
mayors around the world. We must be ambitious and
focused as well as creative. I thank fellow mayors
for their trust and
collaboration.”Read
