** Bloomberg American Cities Climate Challenge Releases Winning Strategies for Cities to Fight the Climate Crisis
------------------------------------------------------------
The 2019 C40 World Mayors Summit was also the stage for Mike Bloomberg and eight U.S. Mayors to release the American Cities Climate Challenge Climate Action Playbook, a strategic guide to accelerate and deepen climate action in cities. The Playbook highlights 30 high-impact actions that are currently being implemented in 25 of the largest U.S. cities through the Bloomberg Philanthropies American Cities Climate Challenge. If the 100 largest U.S. cities took on the strategies outlined in the Playbook, their total combined emissions would drop by 28.5%, meeting their share of the U.S. national target of reducing emissions by 26-28% by 2025 - the goal set under the Paris Climate Agreement.
