Cities show the way to climate adaptation

Local government leaders set their own course for cities adapting to climate change as the Bonn Climate Change talks of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which opened on 31 May 2010.

“Our cities are at risk now”, said Marcelo Ebrard, Mayor of Mexico City and chair of the World Mayors Council on Climate Change. “We are losing time, so we are working with other cities in order to have new ideas, new ways to do things faster than in the past. Our Mayors Adaptation Forum is a unique opportunity to discuss a way to get closer to the future we want.”
