How modern economic ambition is so often at odds with many of the worlds indigenous communities and their traditional way of life causing locals. Several of them honor to share the dreams of our people with others. First nations frontline, coming soon on al jazeera with cities occupy about 3 percent of the planet surface, but with about 55 percent of the worlds population living in them. 70 percent of all Greenhouse Gas emissions come from these urban areas. Consuming 2 thirds of the Worlds Energy and as many countries continued to spend resources on urban development, the Climate Crisis is deepening. As summers get hotter, more energies needed for cooling and air winters get colder, more energy is required for heating. The more energies wasted that more power outage is we will face. Ah, and the more we destroy nature, that war, it will destroy what human kind has made. Is there a way to end this vicious cycle . A network of city may years came together to deliver urgently needed actions to confront the Climate Crisis. The group was founded in 2005 and was 1st called c 20. But a year later, 22 more majors were invited to join, ensuring balance from the global south and creating the network we know today as see 40. Though the see 40 is formed by nearly 100 were leading cities and represent more than 580000000 people and around one 5th of the global economy. Groupies chairs, fight and may europe, london. Sadie, can me, you can and he see 40 counterparts. We simply met him when a site is theres no good reason why the International Community called keep the promise of 1. 5 degrees to be alive. And yet, this crucial target hangs in the balance because for the progress of cities are making too Many National governments are still dragging their feet. Will the city may yours be able to change the course of the climate crises . Something country year seemed to be failing at the mayor of london at chair of they see 40 said he can talk to law. Does iran american thank you so much for talking to us as youre at your hearing when a fight is discussing with other me years about how to mitigate the impact of Global Warming Climate Change. Could you tell us a bit about what the c 40 is all about and how it was formed . The c 40 is almost a 100, a mess, all the big cities in the world. Think of london, los angeles, galka delhi, paris, barcelona, bonita goes ours. And so forth, and we represent roughly speaking, 700000000 people, almost half off the gdp of the world. And that the c 40, which im privilege to chair and lead, is mares who are doing things to tackle the club urgency to tackle Climate Change. Air pollution and so forth was we recognize more than 70 percent of Carbon Emissions come from cities. More and more people are moving to cities and our frustration has been is National Governments. Many of them originally, you know, deny there was a problem. Now most of the government saw a delay in the problem, whereas mez are doing things to address these issues. And this summit taking place in pianos are, is, is the biggest ever gathering of men in history. And where meet soon as they see 40 welled mess summit to discuss policies to address these issues. So weve announced that between now and 2030, the see 40 cities will be helping to create 50000000. 00 good green jobs by 2030 will be announced more than a 1000000000. 00 worth of support to global south cities because i recognize and we recognize that the global south country cities and peoples are least responsible for where we are now. But suffer the greatest consequence when, when you think about the world today, 15th occupy around 53 percent on the planet, but then around 55 percent of the populations live in that. I mean, if you had to think which are the Biggest Challenges for cps to become green. But the reality is, you know, more than half the population lives in cities, and thats going up. So the, you and estimates in 10 years time, fox, itll become 60 percent, become 70 percent. So thats the reality great. As ation. Now thats a problem, but its also an opportunity because if were more dense, we can reduce our carbon footprint. If we change our cities, so people can walk around, cycle around, use public transport rather right on the calls that helps if we can use this as an opportunity to build electric buses, electric taxis, more metros and subways. Its an opportunity because people arent traveling Long Distance by car, simply means we can create better jobs, which can rely on Renewable Energies rather than fossil fuel. So of course is a challenge. More people move into city if theres not proper preparation of planning. So when a decent house in our cities Affordable Housing in the cities, we need to train up the workforce to have the skills from the jobs being created. Which of actually support for families and businesses in our cities and you know what . Mares on the c 14 were showing, its possible to do these issues from acura to delhi, from los angeles to paris showing that were doing things to address these issues. When you think about the problem that many of the cities youre mentioning and, and the challenges they face, i mean, what are the most serious situations central you have encountered that you have seen . The Biggest Issue is taking people with you. And what you dont want to do is, you know, go so fast in relation to reliance on fossil fuels or, you know, some of the older jobs are not sensible for 21st century. And people then react that in a negative way. And thats where youre going to have a, what we call a Just Transition. So you go to support people to move from, you know, things that were of carbon intensive to things that are less carbon intensive. So for example, if somebody is worried about losing a job in manufacturing vehicles, which rely upon an internal Combustion Engine engine, under subtle reasons, that isnt the livelihoods right . You got a skill them up and train them up to have jobs which they can go to, whos going to build the electric buses, the electric taxis, the bikes, the bicycles, whos gonna inflate our homes, put the glazing in. Whos gonna, how of, you know, work out the electric vehicle charging points, whos gonna build the, the turbines for wind and the panels for solar. So theres an opportunity arising from this transition. And the biggest challenge is to make sure that transition is just because if you go to quick with Just Transition people will react to negative way. And i think what mares are showing the national leaders, the president s, the Prime Ministers, hell be meeting a shambles. Shake in just a couple weeks time is that it is possible to take people with you. It is possible to have policies that control for my societies for the better. When you talk about greener cities and the challenges of Climate Change and, and you also have, you know, lack of jobs and economic problems and all of this pressing age. I mean, how do you in weight privilege . What is immediate economic need to no longer sustainability got, i mean, how do you find that balance . And thats the most profound question. We know families, businesses across the globe are worried about the cost of living crisis, Higher Energy bills, inflation, Interest Rates and so forth across the globe, right . But actually, the cause of many of those things is our reliance on fossil fuels. So ill give you an example. Many in europe have seen a massive increase in their gas prices because of putins invasion of ukraine. An increase in Energy Prices because of whats happening in the middle east and a reliance on those fuels from the middle east. And from putin, right, so energy bills have got up, but actually if we were to build solar panels, have wind turbines, have the hydro facilities 1st, we would be Energy Secure. I so the bills wouldnt go up, but also theyd be sustainable and green, big issue for the cost of living crisis in the u. K. Is Peoples Energy bills are going up, right . Especially the way to address that is not simply by Energy Secure cerebral fuels up. In slayer homes, build homes that are, you know, 0 carbon and so forth. But that can also create jobs. What we could be doing is train up those who lost their jobs in the older industries, out to be the insulators to be the people that fit the people charge employees to be able to build the buses or be the people that have the grid change and so forth, so we can address the cost living crisis issues around instability, a brightly dealing with the Climate Change. So actually its a solution. So the problems we face is not my worries. But ladies are, you know, theyre gonna green pass. They blame putin and ukraine. They blame the cause, didnt crush the cedar, we cant do anything. Right. So lets delay take an action to light on or they set all guests that will materialize once they stop being the Prime Minister was have stopped being the president 20502625. 2040 maze though are doing things now. So our targets of 2030 but also more than 75 percent of mass are going faster than the National Conference because we have to reapply for our jobs every 4 years. And were taking people with us. What were seeing right now and because of the war in ukraine is anita, is around the world increasing, you know, all expectation and gas, you know, its the Desperate Measures you know, to, to deal with a problem thats happening right now. How difficult is it to promote this green agenda this, this future of considering a mitigating nova warming in a situation like this one, i mean, are you encountering lacoff backlash in a way this summer . In london, we experienced temperatures of 40 degrees celsius. Never in the history of our country have. We had those the troll, hottest days or periods in the history of my country has been since 2003. We will experience plus flooding. Look across europe, theres been no wildfires. Heat waves look at china. The horizontal theyve ever had looking focused on 33000000 people displays because of the floods which, which came off to record temperature. So look, people experience Climate Change. There is now very, very few people who are Climate Change denies and weve got to explain to people. Politicians are going to become teachers. These are the consequences of Climate Change and not, you know, to come to the temptation of a quick fix or easy here of, you know, gas and petrol because that way lies doing the cost. The cost of inaction relying upon fossil fuels Going Forward is far greater than the cost of action, ration to transition into renewable energy. And you know what . Those of us who are progresses, need people with us when he people power to support us. The in those democracies around the globe, votel those that wanna explore fracking, accelerate gas exploration, accelerate oil production, actually say, while we invested in wind, we invested in solar. We invested in hodgen invested in nuclear, diversified and i just fly. But also thinking about our cities in our environment, why is there a need to be able to drive to the centralized cities to go to work . Why people troubling 2 hours to get to decent leisure. So in london, were trying to encourage more people to walk and cycle and use public transport. We have the large number of electric buses of any city in western world, and were trying to take people with us. And i think its really important that we resist the temptation for greater lives and fossil fuels. You were mentioning about develop nations helping or assisting developing nations because im sure theres different priorities. Definitely whats happening in london. Whats happening in cities like when a site is where we are right now, so, you know, how do you find that balance and what type of help were mentioning about, you know, a fund to assist other cities . Could you tell us a bit more about what about the 1st thing is look those those lists responsible for Climate Change. Those leads responsible for causing the Climate Crisis or suffering. The worse consequences of that you speak to somebody in bangladesh, the coast time would arise and or speech, somebody boxed on something from florida and speak to somebody in bogota in relation to the equality and so forth. That equals Climate Change, right . The suffering, the was consequences as a moral argument, but secondly, so linked, right . So, so we, in the global north call escape the consequences of Climate Change anymore. But also, you know, toxic air Climate Change, extreme weather doesnt respect national boundaries. And this is a good example of the need for multilateralism working together. So for example, if youre in the global north and youre worried about immigration, you got to understand one of the reasons people on migration is climate displacement in decor. They receive 2000 people. Every day to come from the coastal towns because their homes are being flooded simply in the global north. People may complain of immigration. Well actually the reason people are common is their homes are being flooded all those drought in that. So if you worry about that right weights to help address the issue is that source deal with climate and white about temperatures that are cause in wildfires. In the global north, youre going to sole that by just having policy, the global noti cant build a wall around this, you going to tackle Climate Change at source and the consequences as well, but also its a virtual circle. And so weve got understand the actually its in our interest in the global north to support the global south because it needs to become better economies dont have less consequences of Climate Change, drought, other issues that flow from that. But also, it will lead to the ability in the future to closer together. So decided that, you know, we can help the global south because its their problem or im not going to cycle because the point if john has got these, you know, co power factories or im not going to buy the recycling because in india theyre doing things that are conducive to addressing Climate Change is dont, right . We got to take post responsibility as individuals and families and our businesses, such a moral leadership, but also rec, recognize the global. So the what you call the, the develop more call to buy themselves. They need to support the support in relation to the 100000000000. 00 promised by previous copy the follicle to be delivered, but also ration to lawson damage adaptation resilience and so forth. There is no point making your city in the global level north, your country global north. You know this utopian city or country because climate Climate Change doesnt respect these national boundaries. Youve got to help others as well. I listen to you and you have like so much passion about the official with it to show how committed to are. But when you look at around the world, i mean, do you think the world is heading that way . Do you see that National Government around the world are as interested as you are . My point to people watching this is dont judge all politicians the same. I th
