Edmonton will become the seventh Canadian city and one of 200+ cities world-wide to sign the Covenant. The Global Cities Covenant on Climate originated from the World Mayors Summit on Climate held in November 2010.

City Council approved signing the Covenant on February 29, 2012.  Read more at the City of edmonton website.
