Blue circles represent the 1,354 municipalities included in the analysis, with circle size proportional to population (as indicated by the legend). The map illustrates the geographic coverage with notable concentrations in Europe, North America and emerging clusters in Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia and Latin America. The spatial distribution reflects varying levels of municipal climate action engagement and activity on energy access and energy poverty within the Global Covenant of Mayors across different global regions.
