Paris Exhibition Highlights Global Cities' Climate Action

In 2025, global efforts to combat climate change have been highlighted through various initiatives focusing on cities and culture. London Climate Action Week emphasized the intersection of climate and public health, advocating for healthier, sustainable cities and addressing air pollution’s deadly impact. The International Council of Museums (ICOM) contributed expert advice to the G20 Culture Working Group, emphasizing the vital role museums play in climate change response and the importance of including historically marginalized voices in environmental discussions. The EU Mission on Cities aims to create 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030 to serve as innovation hubs for others to follow by 2050. Meanwhile, a child-friendly exhibition in Paris, titled "From Paris to Belém: 10 years of global climate action," showcases successful urban climate initiatives worldwide, such as Buenos Aires' Metrobus reducing CO₂ emissions and Medellín's green corridors lowering temperatures, reinforcing the call for cities to take bolder climate action. These efforts collectively underscore the accelerating momentum toward sustainable urban development and cultural engagement in global climate strategies.
