Congratulations to Ursula von der Leyen on her appointment as President-elect of the European Commission. Earlier this week, C40 mayors wrote to Ms. von der Leyen, calling for a strengthened European Green Deal with a robust urban and social focus as she sets out her political guidelines for the next EU mandate. On behalf of C40's European mayors, the C40 Vice Chairs – mayors of Copenhagen, Milan, Oslo, and Paris – stressed that decisive climate action will save lives, improve economic and social conditions, create good green jobs, and reduce the cost of living.

Massive congratulations to the Mayor of Paris and C40 Vice Chair Anne Hidalgo and the whole team at Paris City Hall for this momentous achievement. Ahead of the green #Paris2024 games, it is inspiring to see the ambitions of climate leaders like Mayor Hidalgo come to fruition. Because of the mayor's leadership, the Seine will be accessible to all for swimming and enjoyment from next summer, exemplifying how action on climate, such as cleaning our rivers and waterways, also benefits residents.
La baignade dans la Seine, certains en ont rêvé, beaucoup en ont douté, et nous, nous l'avons fait ! Après 100 ans d'interdiction, les athlètes feront le grand saut à leur tour dans quelques jours pendant les Jeux ! Ce sera dès l'été prochain pour les Parisiennes et les Parisiens. - 🇬🇧 Swimming in the Seine. Some dreamt of it, some didn't think it would happen, and we, well, we did it! After a 100-year ban, athletes will take the plunge in just a few days during the Games! Swimming in the Seine will be open to the public as of next summer.

"Climate action is unlikely to happen at the scale and pace we need unless we, as Chief Financial Officers, are on board." London was among the first cities to issue a climate budget, following the pioneering work of Oslo. As the Greater London Authority's Director of Group Finance and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Enver Enver is now in his third year of leading the #ClimateBudgeting process. https://c40.me/3SbJzlg
As CFOs, we have the power to place climate action at the heart of financial decision-making. Here's how.

C40’s European mayors have a clear message for the European Commission: decisive action to address the climate crisis will save lives, create better economic and social conditions with more green jobs, and reduce the cost of living. Read the letter from C40’s Europe Vice Chairs to Ursula von der Leyen, President-Elect of the European Commission: https://lnkd.in/ehdeAsgy Europe is getting hotter twice as fast as the rest of the world, with heat-related deaths increasing by 30% in the last two decades. Europe cannot afford to wait any longer to take decisive action like its cities already are. We urgently need a strengthened European Green Deal with an urban and social beating heart.

#WorldYouthSkillsDay is observed today on 15 July, and we’re excited to share a special message from C40 Cities Co-Chair Mayor of Freetown Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE. 📣 📈 Youth unemployment rates are nearly 3.5 times higher than those of adults. 🌍 73 million young people are estimated to be unemployed globally – that's equivalent to the entire population of Thailand. In a world where we’re working towards a greater good green jobs era, it’s important to ensure groups such as youth have access to learning and growing the right skills. 🎥 Watch the video to learn more. ✊🌱 Find out what cities doing to deliver green jobs: https://c40.me/4cSXRPo
