16 Cities Act In 2013 C40 cities undertook 8,068 actions 12% were city wide
17 Cities have the power
18 Mayoral power and climate action Many cities are identical in their capacity, i.e. who owns and operates city assets Limited power does not always mean limited action New data show that up to a third of all city actions are made where cities have no or little direct power. This is often through partnering with other actors open for more opportunities. 19
19 Realdania s work with C40 Reduction of CO2 emissions + climate proofing of cities Knowledge in International knowledge imparted to the Danish municipalities Knowledge out Danish knowledge communicated to other countries 21
