CNCA enables leading cities worldwide that are working aggressively toward a zero-carbon future to advance their own transformational efforts, collaborate with each other and key partners to overcome barriers, foster innovative approaches, and share lessons with other cities ready to pursue similar goals.

The long-term vision of the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance is that by 2050 or sooner, Alliance member cities will achieve carbon neutrality and that this will engender greater economic prosperity, social equity, enhanced quality of life, and climate resilience for the people and businesses in our cities.
