Cop15 and why it matters

The Guardian is already running pieces on Cop15 and why it matters. The gathering, to be held here from December 7‑19, will draw a lot of attention to the city.

In tangential news, the city will be signing the C40 Urban Nature Declaration, committing to making one third of the city green or natural space. What’s interesting here is that this is a movement at city level, driven by mayors.
