5 Cities Worldwide that Battle for Climate Survival
May 20
The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, hosted by New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has been established to help member cities experiencing extreme weather conditions and global warming changes, contribute to the study and measurement of the implications of climate change and the impact on the local sustainable activities. From Toronto to Tokyo and Warsaw to Addis Ababa, these partner cities are assisting in developing the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project). The online reporting platform includes detailed information on the mitigation, risks and adaptation of the many variables of effect that climate change has on the partner cities. The interactive report is being used by scientists and other cities around the world to evaluate the overall effect, both in cost and life, that climate change is having on the member cities.

I think that we will be seeing more countries joining this group. The sad part is that the extreme weather conditions are making a showing all around the world. Some can say they are a fluke, but when it happens in such an extreme, year after year, it’s not a coincidence, it’s a reality. What kind of world are we leaving for our children?
May 28th, 2013 at 4:03 pmI have a friend in Australia that has kept me up to date on what’s going on there. It is frightening. So much land has been destroyed from drought and fire. Animal life and their own way of life is being devastated. Are we too late to turn this around?
May 27th, 2013 at 9:39 pmKudos goes out to Michael Bloomberg for setting this all up. It’s almost impossible to believe that so many still deny that there are any climate changes happening, but those in the areas that are being hit the hardest will probably be more than happy to defend the topic. Too bad that it takes that level of disaster.
May 26th, 2013 at 2:05 pmWhether it’s too much rain, drought, hurricanes, fires or floods; only some of this can be considered natural behavior. I hope this group has some ideas and influence in changing bad behavior.
