Business Council

Where public leadership and private sector innovation meet.

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. Business leaders share what they are seeing across markets, supply chains, technologies, and capital flows.

Membership offers something rare: proximity to decision-makers 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.

We are grateful to the member organizations that comprise Climate Mayors Business Council:

Intentionally selective

We seek companies that demonstrate:

  • Clear sector alignment with climate solutions
  • 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 transition to a zero-carbon economy

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