At COP30, new guidebook empowers cities to make climate action more equitable

Summary

ICLEI launched a new guidebook at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, on November 11, 2025, to help cities address the challenge of making climate action socially just and inclusive. Titled 'From Incentivizing to Empowering: A Practitioner’s Guide to Equitable Climate Action in Cities', it shifts the approach from merely incentivizing climate-friendly behavior to actively empowering communities. The guidebook, drawing on examples from German cities, provides practical pathways to embed equity across city administration, aiming to ensure no one is left behind in the climate transition.
