🚨 City leaders in the Eurocities network have expressed their strong support for and solidarity with Ekrem İmamoğlu, Mayor of Istanbul, following his arrest by Turkish police. “European mayors stand side by side with the Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu,” says Burkhard Jung, President of Eurocities and Mayor of Leipzig. “His detention is the latest in a series of actions aimed at undermining his political leadership and his role as mayor. Turkey must uphold democratic principles.” 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBQmrH8M

Imagine if the City of #Turku, a climate leader, waited until the last minute to take climate action? 🌍 ❗ As our comic strip below shows, it might seem like a funny situation – but in reality it’s no joke. We simply cannot delay on climate action! The consequences for our cities and people will be disastrous. City leaders welcome the new EU Clean Industrial Deal, a positive step towards Europe’s industrial transformation. But this is not enough. Ursula von der Leyen, Wopke Hoekstra and Teresa Ribera ➡️ You must ensure an ambitious, legally binding carbon emissions reduction target of at least 90% by 2040. 🔗 Read our article 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEN4eC3q 🖥️ And watch our comic strip below - featuring a strong climate message from Minna Arve, Mayor of Turun kaupunki - Åbo stad - City of Turku 👇 #Climate2040 #LocalFutureEU #CleanIndustrialDeal
