In what way does C40 support climate equity?

C40 supports climate equity by ensuring that climate actions benefit all residents, especially the most vulnerable. This approach recognizes that marginalized and disadvantaged communities often bear the brunt of climate impacts, such as extreme weather events, pollution, and lack of resources to adapt to climate changes. By focusing on these populations, C40 strives to create inclusive strategies that empower these communities, improve their resilience, and ensure they have access to the benefits of climate action initiatives, such as clean energy, green spaces, and healthier living conditions. This equitable focus helps to address historical injustices and makes the transition to a sustainable future fairer for everyone.
