Commitments

In summary, a city commits to undertaking a specific project that demonstrates their commitment to the ten principles of the Global Compact and the Cities Programme.

There are two key Letters which demonstrate a city’s commitment to the Cities Programme:

Letter of Engagement – this acknowledges the city’s interest and motivation to join the Cities Programme and describes the intended project.  This letter is signed by the City Mayor and sent to the International Secretariat, forming part of the Submission Package.

Letter of Commitment – this demonstrates a city’s support of the overarching ten principles of the Global Compact. This letter is signed by the City Mayor and sent to the UN Secretary General, via the online protocol on the UN Global Compact website.
