ICYMI, today we launched #ItsInTheAir. Hope. Change. Progress. #ItsInTheAir. Can you feel it? City leaders - from Copenhagen to Phoenix and Seoul to Abidjan and beyond - gathered in #Paris to celebrate clean air initiatives. Clean air zones give people more space to breathe, walk, access public transport and connect with nature, while helping cut harmful pollution.

C40 Cities supports this urgent call to action on extreme heat from United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, just days after global temperatures reached record-breaking highs yet again. As the world is heating up faster than anticipated, cities are bearing the brunt, as congestion, the built environment and concentrated energy use trap and amplify temperatures. The world’s cities are heating up at twice the global average rate, but they are also leading the way in adapting to extreme heat. Mayors are improving access to nature, water and shade, protecting workers, creating networks of climate shelters and more. Across the C40 Cities network, mayors stand ready to partner with national governments, unions, businesses, and most importantly, residents, to address extreme heat and its inequitable impacts. https://lnkd.in/duJnfmew

#ItsInTheAir! Hope. Change. Progress. Clean air zones in cities worldwide are transforming communities, creating space for residents to connect, move freely, access public transport and enjoy urban life. Learn about the campaign: https://lnkd.in/e6N8-ReE C40 Vice Chair Mayor of #Paris Anne Hidalgo has made a bold commitment to people-friendly streets, prioritising accessible and clean public transport over polluting vehicles. Thanks to the mayor’s leadership, parts of Paris have been transformed for the upcoming games, including pedestrian zones and green areas around the Champs-Elysées and Seine River. With our #ItsInTheAir campaign, Mayor Hidalgo passes the baton to other global mayors implementing policies to improve people’s health and combat climate breakdown. Until #CleanAirDay on 7 September, we’ll celebrate clean air and transport initiatives that are transforming urban quality of life with #ItsInTheAir events in Bogotá, Quito, Seattle, and Stockholm.
