Efforts to push low-carbon lifestyles and green energy to curb climate change will fail unless many people see benefits – and the poorest and most vulnerable should get the biggest gains, leading mayors and other city officials urged Friday.
“The journey to net-zero (emissions) has to happen with and for our people, not to them,” warned Susan Aitken, leader of the city council in Glasgow, the Scottish city that will host the COP26 U.N. climate negotiations in November.

With posts from factories, fields and construction sites, workers in Turkey are going viral on TikTok. The appâs staples such as challenges, dancing and comedy abound, but amid the joy it is hard not to miss the criticism of dire working conditions.

Ada Colau, Barcelona’s mayor, pointed to efforts in her city to launch a new company to supply green electricity, resulting in both lower emissions and cheaper power for residents.
Mohammed Adjei Sowah, the mayor of Ghana’s capital of Accra, said his city’s push to cut emissions involved recognizing that informal workers make up at least 75% of the city’s workforce and trying to bring them into new jobs that are green and more stable.
“To ensure a truly just transition… we cannot afford to ignore the informal sector in the things we are doing,” he said.
