The Global Cities Covenant on Climate - the Mexico City Pact
On 21November 2010, 138 cities from developed and developing countries signed the Global Cities Covenant on Climate, “the Mexico City Pact”.
The Mexico City Pact consists of two parts: the first mentions considerations as to why cities are strategic in combating global warming: the second establishes a set of voluntary commitments to promote strategies and actions aimed at mitigating GHG emissions and adapting cities to the impacts of climate change.
To establish and follow up on cities’ commitments, the signatories will establish their climate actions in carbonn Cities Climate Registry (CCCR) powered by Bonn Center for Local Climate Action and Reporting (carbonn).
