Cities are on the frontlines for meeting climate-change targets and need to be supported, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo said on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“If cities aren’t given freedom or access to loans so that they can act, that slows down the entire process,” Hidalgo said in an interview with Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua. “We’re decreasing air pollution, we’re planting trees, we’re bringing key action to respond to climate change.”
