Abstract: City diplomacy is part of public diplomacy of countries. In the contemporary world, political leaders are no longer able to deal with the increasing global challenges. Hence, one way to solve the global problems is to think of measures for cities to enter global networks and international organisations with the help of policy-making processes to enter the city diplomacy arena, which leads to the cooperation of different cities to solve global concerns such as climate change in the C40 organisation. Thus, the current applied research investigates the challenges and shortcomings of city diplomacy in Tehran and also examines the requirements of Tehran membership in the C40 organisation by employing a qualitative method using interviews with experts and qualitative content analysis of interviews using MAXQDA software. Finally, it provides strategies for strengthening Tehran city diplomacy as well as strategies for its membership in the C40 organisation regarding the experts' opinions.
