The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) is the largest global alliance of cities and local governments committed to fighting climate change, strengthening their communities, developing their economies, and creating a sustainable future for all. Over 12,700 cities and local governments – from 6 continents and 142 countries – have committed to the Global Covenant of Mayors and the collective fight against climate change. Overall, the potential of these commitments, representing a population of over 1.1 billion people, are equivalent to reducing nearly 24 billion tons of CO2e emissions by 2030.
