Dear
friends,
Created by the privileged few, the
climate emergency will affect vulnerable
communities hardest and strongest. Far too often,
those bearing the brunt of deadly disasters,
extreme heatwaves and rising seas are least
responsible for the runaway emissions driving the
climate crisis.
It’s time for
change.
To create the future we want, we
must demand inclusive climate action that takes
the plight of marginalized communities into
account.
On September 20th and
27th, I encourage you to march for inclusive
climate action by participating in the Global
Climate Strikes. We need you to speak up
for those who may not be able to advocate for
themselves.
C40 mayors recognize the
transformative power of inclusive climate action
and are already taking substantive steps to
reduce carbon emissions in service of healthier,
safer, more resilient and more equitable
communities.
More than 50 cities
around the world have now made ambitious
commitments to C40’s Green & Healthy Streets
Declaration, Advancing Zero Waste Declaration
and Net Zero Carbon Buildings
Declaration to advance climate
action and improve the lives of people everywhere.
On October 9-12, mayors will bring these unique
solutions to Copenhagen for the C40 World Mayors Summit, where
we’ll work together to make the benefits of
inclusive climate action a reality in the world’s
most influential cities.
Mayors are acting
with urgency, but leaders across all levels of
society must do more today to protect citizens
most impacted by the climate crisis, especially
those least represented in the corridors of
power.
Join millions fighting for the
future: find a local climate strike event near you
by visiting GlobalClimateStrike.net. Then,
tell the world why you’re taking a stand. Post a
message to your national, regional, and local
leaders on social media and tag @c40cities. Urge
them to prioritize inclusive climate action
today.
Only together can we create a safe,
healthy world for everyone. Will you join us in
the fight for a more inclusive future?

Hidalgo C40
Chair & Mayor of Paris
