Bloomberg Philanthropies: What C40's Report, Climate Action in Megacities 3.0, Means to Paris Climate Summit
C40’s new report, Climate Action in Megacities 3.0, contains exciting and encouraging news about the world’s collective fight against climate change – and about the leading role that cities are playing in driving progress. The report, released on November 23, comes just weeks before world leaders gather in Paris to try and create a global agreement to limit carbon emissions. (Download PDF of report.)
One of the most important things the world can do to support Paris is to be there during the UN summit, and C40 and Bloomberg Philanthropies will continue doing everything we can to encourage people to attend. In many ways, the Paris summit has already succeeded where others have failed – nations have set higher goals for reducing carbon, and they’re cooperating across borders. . .
Also, Mike Bloomberg will join the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, at the Mayors' convening, Climate Summit for Local Leaders during the UN Summit in Paris.
