The review "Cities on the World Stage. The Politics of Global Urban Climate Governance" by David J. Gordon examines the role of the Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) as a transnational network of mayors dealing with the climate crisis. Although the C40 does not have formal authority over its members, it has been internationally recognized as a leading force in urban climate policy. According to Gordon, the success of the C40 is based on its ability to create a common identity for the participating cities. The review also emphasizes the role of individuals such as Michael Bloomberg in developing a new vision for urban climate governance. The analysis uses the concept of the sociological field to explain the development of the C40 over time. [Extracted from the article]
