Delhi’s 2 crore people my strength: Kejriwal to C40 summit in Copenhagen

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday participated in the C40 Cities Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark through video conferencing and said no plan to tackle climate change can be successful without the support and participation of the people while adding that Delhi’s two crore people are his strength.

Kejriwal held the video conference after the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) denied clearance to him for attending the summit on climate change and the organisers requested him to address the summit via video.

He also held a press conference at the C40 Cities Climate Summit in Copenhagen, along with leaders of the world’s megacities, where they launched the Clean Air Cities Declaration. Delhi is one of the 38 cities of the 94 cities attending the Summit to have committed to cleaning its air in a time-bound manner.
