She traveled halfway around the world to participate in the Daring Cities 2022 conference in Bonn, Germany, from October 3 to 7. There, she promoted innovative financing to fellow urban decision-makers and thought leaders to expand their climate action plans.
According to Mayor Abby, the city gap fund provides technical assistance and capacity building to support climate-smart planning. The other is the green cities program which aims to build a better and more sustainable future for cities and residents. This program has three central components: a green city action plan, sustainable infrastructure investment, and capacity building.
With her steadfast commitment to tackling climate change, it’s no surprise that Mayor Abby is one of the leading voices in promoting sustainable urban development globally. In August this year, Makati City officially declared a climate emergency and acknowledged the need for concerted, multi-level, and multi-stakeholder climate action to address global warming.
Mayor Abby is also pushing forward with plans to put solar panels in public schools and government buildings to save money on energy and ensure that there is enough power during emergencies.
