Started in 2015, the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA) initiative supports Sub-Saharan cities in their fight against climate change and in their efforts in ensuring access to clean energy. CoM SSA is part of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM) – the largest coalition of cities committed to local climate and energy action. Under the CoM SSA, local authorities make a voluntary political commitment to implement climate and energy actions in their communities. This layer shows the location and year of signature of signatory cities and municipalities of the CoM SSA.
