Business Council

The Climate Mayors Business Council was created to foster something deeper than partnership and more meaningful than sponsorship. It is a forum for alignment. A trusted space where public leadership and private sector innovation meet. A place where insight flows both ways.

Here, mayors share what is happening in their cities — policy shifts, implementation challenges, community priorities, political realities. And business leaders share what they are seeing across markets, supply chains, technologies, and capital flows.

Membership in Climate Mayors Business Council offers something rare: proximity to decision-makers who are implementing climate policy at scale. 

Business Council members are invited to attend the Climate Mayors Leadership Forum during New York Climate Week — an intimate, high-level gathering that convenes mayors and senior advisors for substantive discussion.

The Climate Mayors Business Council is intentionally selective.

We seek companies and institutions that demonstrate:

  • Clear sector alignment with climate solutions
    (e.g., solar, zero-emission vehicles, engineering, architecture, energy systems, transportation, water resilience, climate finance, climate risk assessment)

  • A demonstrated corporate commitment to addressing climate change

  • Transparent measurement and disclosure of climate impact and risk

  • Science-aligned strategies to reduce emissions

  • Investment in financing the global transition to a zero-carbon, resilient economy

  • Advocacy for strong climate policy frameworks

We do not admit companies whose primary business contributes disproportionately to climate change, including fossil fuel–dependent enterprises, firearms, or tobacco industries.
