About Us
The 1000 CITIES Initiative for Carbon Freedom was launched in 2017 by Pathway to Paris at the United Nations Secretariat as a global solution to turning the Paris Agreement into action. The initiative is based on the idea that if 1000 cities around the world develop and implement ambitious climate action plans, we will achieve the targets of the Paris Agreement and beyond. 1000 CITIES is developing a global network advocating for a renewable world while connecting cities to the leading best practices and innovative financing mechanisms. To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, 1000 CITIES partnered with Earth Speakr, a digital art project founded by world-renowned artist Olafur Eliasson, to engage youth to share their vision for the future of cities.
