National governments alone cannot tackle all corners of climate action, that’s why cities offer their ambitions, capacities and achievements as governmental stakeholders which should be tapped in the new climate regime,” states ICLEI Secretary General Gino Van Begin. At the UN Warsaw Climate Conference (COP19/CMP9), which began in Warsaw (Poland) on 11 November 2013 and will run until 22 November, cities will be at the heart of the negotiations scaling up climate action, rather than at the periphery – a direct and positive response of the global climate community to years of advocacy where ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability played a pioneering role. 

 

ICLEI has been working to ensure that local governments are recognised, engaged and empowered in the global climate regime through the Local Government Climate Roadmap, which began in 2007; as a result cities are being recognised more and more as key actors in the transformation to low-emission, climate-resilient societies.  In the lead up to Warsaw, the World Mayors Summit on Climate Change held in Nantes, France – where South Asia was present with a very strong delegation of high level representatives  – concluded with the Nantes Declaration propelling the second phase of the Roadmap. “In Nantes, we strengthened and revitalized our global strategy. In Warsaw, we will voice the perspectives of our cities all over the world, to spur the much needed political, financial and technical support of the global climate community,” declared David Cadman, President of ICLEI’s Global Executive Committee.

 

ICLEI South Asia’s Executive Director and ICLEI’s Deputy Secretary General will be attending the event. To know more about COP19, visit www.iclei.org/cop19cities; for regular updates, follow @ICLEISouthAsia on Twitter.
