An International summit of Mayors for the Climate will be held on July 1st and 2nd in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, a joint initiative meant to be a “COP of cities” in Africa.

This event in an hybrid format will convene Mayors from all over the world in Abidjan, relying on the support of networks of local elected officials active in the fight against global warming and the ecological transition of cities, in partnership with our Town Hall partner, Climate Chance.
