One mission, one future – NO time to waste.
The Race to Zero is a global campaign to rally leadership and support from businesses, cities, regions, and investors for a healthy, resilient, zero carbon recovery that prevents future threats, creates decent jobs, and unlocks inclusive, sustainable growth.
The Cities Race to Zero is a track of Race to Zero for cities only, where cities are uniting to demonstrate their support for inclusive climate action in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Global city partners C40,
the Global Covenant of Mayors,
CDP,
UCLG,
WRI and
WWF, are working together to recruit 1,000 cities to the Race to Zero. Their collaboration ensures that cities are aligned on the science-based targets required to achieve a net-zero future and provides support to cities signing onto the campaign. This partnership also ensures that the Cities Race to Zero commitment is consistent with existing reporting metrics and does not require additional reporting burdens.
Through their commitments to the Paris Agreement, cities around the world are already working towards the goals of the Race to Zero. Signing onto the Cities Race to Zero will be a powerful signal to national governments that cities are ready and willing to partner with them to reach their highest climate ambitions.
