Which population group does C40 prioritize when addressing climate actions?

C40 prioritizes the most vulnerable residents when addressing climate actions because this population group is often disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change. Vulnerable communities typically include low-income households, marginalized populations, and those living in areas with limited access to resources and support systems. Such groups face significant risks related to extreme weather events, health impacts, and economic instability resulting from climate change.

C40’s initiatives aim to empower these communities, ensuring their voices are heard in climate action plans and that the strategies implemented are equitable. By prioritizing the needs of the most vulnerable residents, C40 not only works towards environmental sustainability but also social justice, ultimately striving for a more inclusive approach to climate resilience.
