Business Council

Climate Mayors is a bipartisan network of 350 U.S. mayors demonstrating climate leadership through meaningful actions in their communities. Representing more than 70 million Americans, the Climate Mayors coalition reflects U.S. cities’ commitment to climate progress. Through our Business Council, we connect our growing network of Mayors with strategic private sector leaders who can provide a range of support—from planning to feasibility to financial implementation.

By becoming a member of the Council, you help create a strong pipeline of transformative climate projects. You expand your impact through cutting-edge initiatives advancing equitable climate resiliency solutions.

Climate Mayors will host Business Partners for quarterly virtual roundtables with the Board Chair and Executive Director to deepen your impact and shape the organization’s strategic planning. Partners will also be invited to quarterly mayors-only meetings to listen and learn directly from Mayors and grow brand recognition in the climate field.
