The Des Moines City Council recently approved travel for Mayor Frank Cownie, who visited Mexico City, Mexico, from Nov. 19 to 22. Cownie represented Des Moines and the United States at the World Mayors Summit on Climate. Mayors from different regions of the world signed the Mexico City Pact that sends a message to the international community on the strategic importance of cities in the struggle against climate change. The purpose of the summit was to take a step forward in the level of commitment with the adoption of necessary measures of migration of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the effects of climate change on the part of cities. The entire cost of the trip was paid by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability. The budget for travel and training for the 2011 fiscal year is $621,718.
