City Stories: Equitable Job Access for a Green and Just Recovery by C40 Cities explores how urban leaders worldwide are ensuring that the transition toward a low-carbon future is also fair, inclusive, and opportunity-driven. Developed as part of the Inclusive Climate Action Academy, this publication shares real examples from cities like Accra, Seattle, Salvador, Melbourne, and Barcelona, where governments are connecting climate strategies to local job creation, social equity, and community resilience. It highlights methods such as workforce equity assessments, inclusive social dialogue, and equitable financing mechanisms that ensure green transitions leave no one behind.
Through a series of city-led experiences and actionable frameworks, the guide demonstrates how inclusive governance, intersectional analysis, and participatory policy design can strengthen workforce participation in the green economy. Cities are not only responding to unemployment and social inequalities but also reimagining how local economies can thrive through sustainable innovation and collaboration. This storybook offers valuable lessons for city practitioners seeking to balance economic recovery with environmental justice.
