Getting involved - local governments
Local government play a leading role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Participation in the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy supports them in this endeavour, by providing them the recognition, resources and networking opportunities necessary to take their energy and climate commitments to the next level.
Who is eligible
The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy is open to all local government democratically constituted with/by elected representatives, whatever their size and whatever the stage of implementation of their energy and climate policies.

To join the ever-growing movement, local authorities should undertake the following process:
