Description
Description
|
The declaration testifies to their commitment towards ensuring that action is undertaken at the local level against climate change. Cities are best placed to speak with their citizens on global matters such as climate change, and to show how changes made at the local level in all areas of public life, from waste management, to public transport, to cultural events, among others, can contribute to facing this global challenge.
|
Objectives
|
Mayors declare that fighting global warming demands the orchestration and harmonization of public policies at the local level; that the local level due to our proximity to citizens is in a key position in the fight against global warming uniting individual and collective efforts; that the articulation between the various levels from local up to European is a key factor for the success of our actions; that over 70% of the European population lives in an urban context, our role as organizing authorities in charge of the management of urban services and urban planning is vital in coordinating the mobilization of civil societies in our territories; that the public sector has a key role to play in the integration of this issue
