Big cities are gaining an increasing relevant role as political actors at the national and international level. In the areas of sustainable development and climate change, cities have demonstrated their ability to take the initiative even ahead of national governments, implementing projects, adopting international commitments, collaborating and sharing knowledge through networks with other cities. In this regard, this article examines the collaboration of Mexico City with the city networks ICLEI and C40. To this end, official information was analyzed, and interviews were held with workers from the Secretariat of the Environment of Mexico City, ICLEI and C40.Downloads
