The Compact of Mayors establishes a common platform to
capture the impact of cities’ collective actions through standardized measurement
of emissions and climate risk, and consistent, public reporting of their
efforts. Through the Compact, cities are:
- Increasing their visibility as leaders responding to climate change
- Demonstrating their commitment to an ambitious global climate solution, particularly as nations convene around a new climate agreement in Paris in December 2015
- Encouraging direct public and private sector investments in cities by meeting transparent standards that are similar to those followed by national governments
- Building a consistent and robust body of data on the impact of city action
- Accelerating more ambitious, collaborative, and sustainable local climate action
