The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) is a robust and historic response to climate change from cities worldwide. It is the largest global alliance for city climate leadership, built upon the commitment of over 13,000 towns and local governments. These cities hail from six continents and 144 countries, and in total, they represent more than 1.2 billion people. GCoM cities are already taking action by sharing a long-term vision of supporting voluntary action to combat climate change. We’re working towards a resilient, low-emission society and a just, energetic transition.

As the world struggles with the urgent need to address climate change, local leaders in the American continent are taking bold steps towards a sustainable future with the GCoM and the vital support from the European Union. From the northernmost point of Canada to the southernmost point of Chile, GCoM is a powerful force driving climate action at the regional level.
