Beijing has cut PM2.5 pollution by nearly 70% since 2013, and you can feel and see the difference. More people outdoors, more cycling and running, more green spaces. Climate action woven into everyday life looks just like this.

How are cities and subnational leaders turning negotiation into action? This #COP30 booklet captures the crucial role cities play in tackling the climate crisis, and lays out our COP30 asks. To deliver climate action at the speed required, subnational inclusion at COPs cannot be overlooked.
This week, I’m at @cop30brazil.bsky.social in Belém where cities are backing the COP30 Presidency's call in moving from negotiation to implementation. Here’s what to expect from C40 Cities over the next two weeks ⬇️
It’s amazing what the shift to renewables can look like. A theme park, a transport hub, and a library – all powered by clean energy. In Beijing, the transition is visible and practical, powering the places people use every day.
The best climate solutions do several things at once. At Shanghai's Luojing Port, ships plug in instead of burning fuel, cutting noise & cleaning the air for workers & nearby communities. The shift also helps push global shipping towards greener operations. That's the power of city climate action.
I’m looking forward to a week of meaningful collaboration at the UrbanShift Africa Forum in Nairobi. With 92% of African cities classified as at extreme climate risk, the forum marks a decisive moment to discuss progress for the region's urban planning, sustainable investment, and climate action.

“Conscientização não é aparecer depois da tragédia para surfar a primeira narrativa que aparece; é tentar evitar que a tragédia aconteça e ter paciência para esperar a verdade quando ela chega.” Rodrigo Goes foi perfeito nessa frase, e isso não vale só para a morte do Ganley, mas sim para tudo.

Thomas Massie talking about how the billionaires used AI to defeat him. What he says about this is true. Each new generation is more tech savvy which is why recent grads are booing AI at commencement speeches. The GOP will be doing this to Democrats in the midterms and they're not prepared.

Images of the future motivate. They unite people around shared goals. They energise teams. But in most organisations, vision statements are vague and inherited. Not lived. Not co-created. What would it take to make vision tangible?

Ukraine was, is, and will be. This is a non-negotiable fact. The future is being decided here, and even though the struggle has dragged on for years, the world’s attention remains justified. To stand with Ukraine means to not close your eyes to the obvious and to call things by their true names.
