The Agreement
The World Mayors and Local Governments Climate Protection Agreement is a declaration by Mayors and other elected leaders from local governments around the world.
The Agreement calls for a number of actions, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from 1990 levels worldwide and by 80% from 1990 levels in industrialized countries by 2050.
The Agreement was launched at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia, on 12 December 2007 by a coalition of local governments organizations.
It builds on the existing commitments of local leaders shown through the ICLEI Cities for Climate Protection™ Campaign, World Mayors Council on Climate Change, the US Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, C40 Climate Leadership Group and the United Cities and Local Government (UCLG) Jeju Declaration.
The World Mayors and Local Governments Climate Protection Agreement is available in seven languages.
