Large Cities Climate Leadership Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Large Cities Climate Leadership Group is a group of cities committed to the reduction of urban carbon emissions and adapting to climate change. It was founded following the World Cities Leadership Climate Change Summit organised by the Mayor of London in October 2005.

On August 1, 2006 the Group signed a memorandum of understanding with the William J. Clinton Foundation's Climate Initiative[1], under which Clinton Foundation will provide technical and communications support.

The Large Cities Climate Leadership Group will hold their next summit in New York during 2007.
