Climate Smart Communities - Compact of Mayors Challenge

The Compact of Mayors is a global coalition of mayors and city officials that have pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance resilience to climate change. President Obama has challenged all mayors to commit to a climate action and has set a goal of at least 100 U.S. cities signing onto the compact by the end of November. Two New York cities – New York City and Climate Smart Community Rochester – have already signed on.

The Office of Climate Change encourages all Climate Smart Communities to consider joining the Compact. The Compact requirements are consistent with the Climate Smart Communities, and many Climate Smart Communities have already met many or all of the Compact requirements.
