Unlocking Climate Action in Megacities: The City Practitioners’ View provides the most detailed analysis to date of the barriers that cities
and their mayors face when implementing policies and projects that will deliver on their ambitions to tackle climate change. This is a vital step in overcoming these obstacles and realizing the scale of action needed if the world is to deliver on the 1.5 degrees target of the Paris Agreement.
By hearing from city practitioners what are the key barriers to climate action, the report hopes to establish a shared understanding and
form the basis of an international, collective response. For every barrier identified, which is potentially holding mayors back, the report
has sought to offer solutions and approaches that have worked in C40 cities as well as initiatives being delivered by C40 to help break
down these barriers.
