I was surprised to hear their view, that we had squandered the earth's resources and neglected the environment, that we need a rapid energy transition and that our political leaders are too timid or too compromised to act in time.
Wow!

While it doesnāt mention the CONSIDERABLE opposition Hidalgo still faces (#sadiqkhan take note), unlike most other reports it doesnāt gloss over issues and does a great job explaining why a work in progress is better than none. #green #cities #climateaction #c40cities #greenpolicies

Given that Britain continues without a care to live the death wish of #Brexit, I suspect this warning will fall on deaf ears.

'It helps no one in politics if we are not honest about the reality of pollution in our cities and the health consequences of this, butbut we also need to be honest about what investments are needed to deliver policies with public support.'
