00:00The ecological transition must be a collective project and an inclusive one.
00:06This is an emergency. This isn't something we can talk about later.
00:10This isn't something that can be dealt with at some other time.
00:13This is something which needs to be dealt with now.
00:16As mayors, our primary responsibility is to protect the lives and livelihoods of our citizens.
00:25We launched a global Green New Deal, which allows us to look at economic preservation
00:50and ecological preservation together to create more jobs for more people in the future in the
00:55face of automation and technological change so that we can say the two things that cause people
01:00the most anxiety will I have a job in the future and will there be an earth in the future we can
01:05solve together. There's no question that cities are leading the way where national governments
01:09have failed. In some countries the national government like here in Denmark are working
01:12hand in hand with cities but in other places like America we see a president who's hostile
01:17to any of the actions that are necessary to save the earth and to build the economy so we're not
01:22waiting for those leaders who don't act. Cities are powerful, cities are strong, cities are networked
01:27and cities are acting.
