Every city on the planet is welcome to join the OPCC where local governments are asked to transparently submit their climate action plans on a standardized international platform. This data is then evaluated through WWF’s peer reviewed assessment framework. Participants receive strategic feedback and guidance on big-win actions for maximum impact, capacity building and community engagement support.
To celebrate their accomplishments, and to inspire other cities to follow suit, frontrunners are recognized and rewarded through various communication activities locally and globally. OPCC participation offers cities ample opportunities for knowledge exchange which is greatly appreciated even where local context varies. WWF’s ultimate goal is to support the creation of cities that enable people to thrive in balance with nature now and in the future.
