A coalition of mayors from over 100 cities around the world dedicated to recalibrate society to implement net zero, under the guiding hand of deep politician Michael Bloomberg.

C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) is a coalition of mayors from over 100 cities around the world. The organization’s goal is to make cities cut carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and implement net zero by 2050. The initiative is steered with money and leadership from above, noticeably from billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

The organization functions as a way to lock big cities to certain policies. In 2016, all members were officially required to create an individual plan.

Own words

The Global Green New Deal is a set of principles adopted by C40 members to include progressive priorities in their environmentalist policies. The principles are a commitment to recognize a "global climate emergency," to keep global warming below 1.5°C, to put "inclusive climate action at the center" of all policy decision-making, and to encourage other civic leaders (politicians, unions, CEOs, etc.) to declare a "climate emergency".[1]

C40’s plans to combat "climate change" include recommendations to factor "equity" and social justice to rebalance the disproportionate burden of climate change impacts borne by women and the poor around the world.[2] However, the words do not match the policies, which by making energy much more expensive, will drastically cut living standards, and especially for the poor.

The Future of Urban Consumption

The "ambitious" target in The Future of Urban Consumption envisages 0 private cars

The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World is a 2019 report made by C40 in collaboration with the University of Leeds and Arup Group, demonstrating "that mayors have an even bigger role and opportunity to help avert climate emergency than previously thought … While the analysis addresses big global questions, its purpose is to inspire practical action … average consumption-based emissions in C40 cities must halve within the next 10 years."[3] The report outlines six areas where world governments can take "rapid action to address consumption-based emissions": food, construction, clothing, vehicles, aviation, and electronics, charting 'entirely new' territory for C40, but also for the world at large".

By 2030, the "ambitions" envisages zero meat and dairy consumption, 3 pieces of clothing per person per year, a 20% reduction in demand for new buildings, and no more private cars.[4]

Financing

The initiative is heavily funded by influenced by deep state interests, especially by the three "strategic funders": Bloomberg Philanthropies (Michael Bloomberg), Children's Investment Fund Foundation (billionaire Chris Hohn), and Realdania.[5][6] C40 lists provides no information on funding amounts.

The second highest category, major funders", includes the governments of the United Kingdom, Germany, and Denmark; George Soros’s Open Society Foundations; the Oak Foundation; and the ClimateWorks Foundation.[7]

The next category, "funders", includes Google, the Wellcome Trust, Novo Nordisk, Arup Group, Johnson & Johnson, European Climate Foundation, George Washington University, Global Environment Facility, Grundfos, International Council on Clean Transportation, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Novo Nordisk, Qlik, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, Stavros Niarchos Foundation , Velux,, and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the European Climate Foundation.[8][6][5]
