Moreover, cities around the world are putting increasing focus on tackling climate change. Since AR5:

• Climate leadership at the local scale is growing with commitment from city decision-makers and policymakers to implement local-scale mitigation strategies ( [[#GCoM--2018|GCoM 2018]] , 2019; [[#ICLEI--2019a|ICLEI 2019a]] ; [[#C40%20Cities--2020|C40 Cities 2020]] a).

'''•''' More than 360 cities announced at the Paris Climate Conference that the collective impact of their commitments will lead to a reduction of up to 3.7 GtCO 2 -eq (CO 2 -equivalent) of urban emissions annually by 2030 ( [[#Cities%20for%20Climate--2015|Cities for Climate 2015]] ).

'''•''' The Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM), a transnational network of more than 10,000 cities, has made commitments to reduce urban GHG emissions by up to 1.4–2.3 GtCO 2 -eq annually by 2030 and 2.8–4.2 GtCO 2 -eq annually by 2050, compared to business-as-usual ( [[#GCoM--2018|GCoM 2018]] , 2019).

• More than 800 cities have made commitments to achieve net-zero GHG emissions, either economy-wide or in a particular sector (NewClimate Institute and Data-Driven EnviroLab 2020).

Although most cities and other subnational actors are yet to meet their net-zero GHG or CO 2 emissions commitments, the growing numbers of those commitments, alongside organisations enabled to facilitate reaching those targets, underscore the growing support for climate action by city and other subnational leaders.
