For the 1st edition of the Women4Climate mentorship programme in New Orleans, C40 has selected 13 mentees from the city. New Orleans is the first U.S. city to launch a W4C Mentorship Program. For the 2019 edition, there was no “standard profile” of mentees but mentees' project areas fall under one of these categories: 1. Women in Business; 2. Activism/Community Impact; 3. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics (STEAM); 4. Education. 

The Women4Climate Mentorship Programme matches city officials; committed leaders from the business sector; international organizations; and civil society with emerging women leaders. Each woman selected for the scheme receives training that highlights skills development; addresses barriers; and inspires deeper engagement with climate change.
