The Compact of Mayors is a global coalition of mayors and city officials launched in 2014 by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The purpose is to galvanize cities and local governments into setting transparent, ambitious goals to help reduce emissions, develop clean energy solutions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

US Climate Mayors (aka, Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, or MNCAA) is a network of 92 U.S. mayors  representing over 44 million Americans in red states and blue states. They will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. They will intensify efforts to meet each of their cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st century clean energy economy. They are dedicated to increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency.

GRASSROOTS

The EU wants everyone to comply with the Minsk Agreement. Understandably this includes the Kiev government, the self-defense forces in Donetsk and Lugansk, and the European Union, because Germany and France have, by and large, acted on behalf of the EU, all the more so since all these agreements were approved by the UN Security Council.

22 U.S. embassies in Europe are missing Ambassadors at the helm. The vacancies are undermining not just the United States’ credibility but also the country’s ability to advocate for U.S. interests at the most senior levels. The absence of U.S. Ambassadors in European countries is concerning because European countries represent important political and economic partners

Proposals on Lobbying

Emmanuel Macron has not only campaigned as an unbashed pro-European, but has placed Europe is at the core of both his domestic and international agendas. Some of his key views are well known already. In particular, he has been an advocate of a Eurozone budget, managed by a Eurozone Minister accountable to a Eurozone Parliament. He has firm positions on Brexit, with a view to protecting the remaining members. He has made clear that he supports a more flexible Europe. He favours debt relief for Greece so as to keep Athens in the Eurozone.
