Nicolas Sarkozy served as the 23rd President of the French Republic (2007 to 2012). Prior to his presidency, Sarkozy served as Minister of State, Minister of the Interior and Spatial Planning and Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industry. A visionary leader who has dedicated his life to public service, Sarkozy is widely recognized for his hands-on tactics and straightforward approach in dealing with the most critical issues of our time-foreign policy, national security, global economics and immigration. Integral in the international community’s response to Libya’s civil war, he was also involved with brokering an end to the August 2008 conflict between Russia and Georgia and led the European Union’s response in establishing the G20 summits. Pragmatic and decisive, Sarkozy was at the forefront of the response to end the Euro Crisis and directed the bridging of a multi-year gap between the leaders of France and Germany. The recipient of numerous humanitarian awards and accolades and the author of several books on politics and the issues facing modern democracies, Sarkozy shares with audiences his perspective on the future and solutions to the challenges we face in the 21st century.

  • Viennadeclaration
    V I E N N A D E C L A R A T I O N by the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities - “A strong voice in Europe” 21 April 2015 Introduction Europe is a continent of cities. Cities constitute a major pillar supporting the concept of a united Europe. EU policies shape the lives and everyday experience of the people in Europe; they also shape the economy and the innovative power of major cities in Europe. Our populations are European and international, and cities are a powerful force for promoting integration of peoples from Europe and around the world. Our solutions for living together are diverse as the framework conditions are different in every country and city. Thoroughly considered, consistent and committed decisions and actions are taken day by day in the cities of Europe to protect and enhance social and gender equity, sustainable economic growth and the future of democracy in Europe. European cities work every day to create truly democratic and inclusive societies. European cities are development test beds. Social and economic developments originate in cities. We, the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities are therefore convinced that the European Union must focus even more strongly on the urban dimension. I. Urban agenda: systematic involvement of cities in EU policies We, the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities, are strategic partners in shaping the European Union´s future regional and urban policy. Our joint goal is an Urban Agenda stipulating an urban dimension in all relevant EU decision-making processes. Cities should therefore be involved in the entire policy making process.

  • Introducing the “15-Minute City”: Sustainability, Resilience and Place Identity in Future Post-Pandemic Cities
    smart cities Perspective Introducing the “15-Minute City”: Sustainability, Resilience and Place Identity in Future Post-Pandemic Cities Carlos Moreno, Zaheer Allam *, Didier Chabaud, Catherine Gall and Florent Pratlong Chaire Entrepreneuriat Territoire Innovation (ETI), Groupe de Recherche en Gestion des Organisations (GREGOR), IAE Paris—Sorbonne Business School, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, 75013 Paris, France; [email protected] (C.M.); [email protected] (D.C.); [email protected] (C.G.); [email protected] (F.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The socio-economic impacts on cities during the COVID-19 pandemic have been brutal, leading to increasing inequalities and record numbers of unemployment around the world. While cities endure lockdowns in order to ensure decent levels of health, the challenges linked to the unfolding of the pandemic have led to the need for a radical re-think of the city, leading to the re-emergence of a concept, initially proposed in 2016 by Carlos Moreno: the “15-Minute City”. The concept, offering a novel perspective of “chrono-urbanism”, adds to existing thematic of Smart Cities and the rhetoric of building more humane urban fabrics, outlined by Christopher Alexander, and that of building safer, more resilient, sustainable and inclusive cities, as depicted in the Sustainable Development Goal 11 of the United Nations. With the concept gaining ground in popular media and its subsequent adoption at policy level in a number of cities of varying scale and geographies, the present paper sets forth to introduce the concept, its origins, intent and future directions.

    PRESS RELEASE C40 Office in Copenhagen to Connect Cities and Businesses to Tackle Climate Change C40 – the world’s leading climate network for megacities – opens a permanent CONTACT base in Copenhagen today. [email protected] New base will create closer collaboration between cities and the private sector to speed up transition to low-carbon economies 06th Feb 2017 – Copenhagen: The Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen, today officially opened C40’s permanent office in the city. Drawing on the unique expertise in sustainable urban development found in Copenhagen, the new C40 office will serve as a centre for the network’s global Business, Economy and Innovation Programme. By supporting greater cooperation between C40 cities and the private sector they will help to overcome one of the major barriers to mayors delivering on their ambitious climate change agendas. "Copenhagen has one of the world's most ambitious climate plans and is on track to reduce CO2 emissions to zero by 2025,” said Simon Hansen, Head of C40 Copenhagen office. “There are great opportunities for C40 in opening an office in Copenhagen to draw on the knowledge here. The city has created a wide range of green solutions in urban planning, energy, cycling infrastructure and much more, which cities all over the world want to learn from." Mayor Frank Jensen serves as vice-chair of the C40 network, representing the 16 innovator cities within the network on the organisation’s Steering Committee. Copenhagen is amongst the most active cities within C40 and leads their green growth network. "That C40, as the world’s leading climate network for megacities, is opting to set up a base in the city is official recognition of Copenhagen’s position as a green leader,” said Frank Jensen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen.

  • Council of European Municipalities and Regions European Section of United Cities and Local Governments
    Council of European Municipalities and Regions European Section of United Cities and Local Governments Local and regional leaders across Europe oppose self-declared “LGBTI-free zones” in Poland Whereas in Poland around 100 municipalities have instituted “anti-LGBTI” zones or other discriminatory measures, the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) calls on Europe’s local and regional officials to support their peers fighting against homophobia. Frédéric Vallier, CEMR Secretary General, and Emil Broberg, Regional Councillor of Östergötland (Sweden) and Chair of CEMR’s standing committee for Equality, have jointly penned an open letter opposing these measures to Polish municipalities, counties and regions. They call on local and regional governments throughout Europe to express their support by signing on to the letter. To date, CEMR has collected 70 signatures from 14 European countries. Expressing his view on the situation in Poland, CEMR President and President of the Emilia-Romana Region Stefano Bonaccini said: “Equality is for all Europeans. It is a core European value. As we are striving to build a better and brighter future for all, we simply cannot turn back the clock on human rights and sweep aside decades’ worth of progress.” “In the world we live in today, equality must be built from the ground up”, said Emil Broberg. “Local and regional governments should not give way to national political movements opposing equality. On the contrary, municipalities and regions can set an example by holding firm to the principles of human rights and to the progress we have made so far.” Further confirmation of the gravity of the situation came with the recent publication of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights’ survey on LGBTI equality, which revealed that 40% of surveyed people in Europe said they experienced harassment due to their sexual orientation.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Cities urge the G20 to work with them to tackle climate change, the future of work and social integration G20 major cities, including Buenos Aires, Paris & Tokyo present the Urban 20 joint position to President Mauricio Macri ahead of G20 Summit in Argentina First ever U20 Mayors Summit concludes with call for nation states to work hand in hand with cities. Buenos Aires, Argentina (30 October 2018) — G20 nations today received an urgent call from the mayors of their major cities: “work hand in hand with us to achieve our collective goal of fair, inclusive, and sustainable development.” Cities from G20 member states, known as the Urban 20 (U20) delivered their recommendations on climate change, the future of work, social integration, women empowerment and access to finance in a communiqué delivered to Mauricio Macri, President of Argentina and the G20. President Macri committed to share the U20 recommendations with world leaders at the upcoming G20 Summit in Buenos Aires. The communiqué, endorsed by the mayors of 34 cities, representing 1.5 billion citizens, called on G20 member states to implement a series of measures, including: ● Fully and rapidly implement the Paris Agreement, to achieve emissions neutrality by 2050 and keep global atmospheric temperatures from rising above 1.5°C ● Accelerate a global shift away from fossil fuels toward clean and renewable energy, including carbon pricing that reflects the social cost of carbon. ● Collaborate with cities in developing and implementing education, training, skill-building, apprenticeship systems, and employment programs ● Improve women and girls’ access to education, skills, training and financial support to enhance their economic empowerment.

  • Letter to C40 Mayors from the President Of
    Brussels, 22 December 2017 Dear Mayors, On behalf of GasNaturally, a European partnership of six associations that represent the entire gas value chain, I am writing to you to present innovative solutions that could best improve the air quality in your cities. Air quality is one of the largest environmental challenges that municipalities are currently facing. Despite the strengthening of emissions standards, particulate matter strongly affects air quality, often leading to respiratory and other health problems among urban populations. To improve air quality, on top of technological breakthroughs, political courage is needed to promote a cultural change in how citizens use energy and to ensure the economic sustainability of city-led initiatives. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) vehicles are ready, mature, and affordable solutions to improve cities’ air quality. Given the low capital expenditures required to convert gasoline-powered vehicles to natural gas, fleet renewals can be quickly accelerated. CNG- powered cars can achieve over 90% reduction of particulate matter and emit more than 30% less CO2 than petrol cars, without need for subsidies and without compromising on performance, as the engine is the same (see Annex I). Natural gas is also the best partner to support low-emission mobility through wider use of renewable energy sources. For example, renewable gas produced from biomass conversion of municipal waste and/or from renewable electricity via power-to-gas processes is fully compatible with existing CNG vehicles. GasNaturally welcomes the recent decisions of two major cities. Madrid’s public transport company, EMT, announced that it will order more environmentally-friendly natural gas-fuelled buses, reaching 75% of its fleet by 2019.
