Occupy Corporatism

Michael Bloomberg, former New York Mayor and current assistant to Un General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon, has been appointed to the UN Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change (SECCC) commented to the press that “cities hold the key to confronting climate change because they account for 75 percent of the heat-trapping gases and their mayors have executive powers to reduce emissions.”

Bloomberg explained: “Those actions will save lives, they’ll strengthen and protect the national economies, they’ll make cities more healthy and economically vibrant and together they’ll make a difference in the global fight against climate change.”

According to the Urban Climate Change Governance Survey (UCGS) report of 350 participating cities across the globe, preparations for climate change are being added into basic urban planning, along with economic development priorities.

The report claims that “75% of cities worldwide now tackle climate-change issues as a mainstream part of their planning, and 73% of cities are attempting both climate mitigation and climate adaptation — that is, they are trying both to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and to adapt to long-term changes that are already in motion. But only 21% of cities report tangible connections between the response to climate change and achieving other local development goals.”

Alexander Aylett, post-doctorate professor for the department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) commented: “Climate change isn’t an isolated issue. It has large implications for all other aspects of urban life. What we are seeing is cities starting to build it into the DNA of how they approach urban planning.”
