Translation of statements by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva:

1. "Climate action can serve as a tool for a broader urban agenda of inclusion and social justice. The green transition is a valuable opportunity to create jobs and income for young people in large urban centers. Cities cannot afford urban transformation on their own and must not be overlooked in new financing mechanisms for the climate transition."

2. "Cities present challenges, but they also hold the solutions we seek, cities are home to the agents of change we aspire to achieve. The presence of so many mayors here today is proof that local governments want and can do their part."
