Phil Goff involved in C40 Climate Summit

Auckland mayor, Phil Goff, together with the mayors of London, Paris, Los Angeles, and several other cities committed themselves to a series of ambitious targets to make their cities cleaner, greener and more sustainable. This pioneering step means that the city leaders have pledged to procure only zero-emission buses from 2025 and ensure that a major area of their city is zero emission by 2030.  They aim for “a future where walking, cycling, and shared transport are how the majority of citizens move around our cities." “In Auckland, our largest single contributor to greenhouse gas emissions is from transport – around 40%, so signing this declaration signals how serious we are about tackling climate change,” said Phil Goff. “With more than one-third of New Zealand’s population and the majority of its growth, Auckland has a key leadership role to play and we are committed to transforming the way our people move and delivering a clean, green city for all.”
