At a ceremony in Chicago, 10 cities from around the world, from Copenhagen to Washington, DC, are being honored for their innovative efforts to fight climate change. Nowhere is this more true than in the area of climate change. Around the world, 92 megacities -- which together represent 25% of global GDP -- are now members of a network called C40 dedicated to fighting climate change. Equally important, cities are racing to protect their residents—and their economies—from the growing impacts of climate change. The latest concrete proof that cities are innovating comes from today’s C40 Bloomberg Philanthropies Awards, given to the “10 Best Cities For Climate Action.”
