.@BernieSanders is right: Big challenges require big ideas — and climate change is the existential threat of our time. In New York City, we’re showing what a #GreenNewDeal looks like in practice. #DemDebate https://t.co/Kz6rpba7bE
Just spoke with @BilldeBlasio back stage @BuzzFeedNews’ live show. He said he’d participate in a #climate debate even if its not @DNC sanctioned.
.@BilldeBlasio also told me his is looking to release a climate plan in a few weeks, one largely based on what NYC has done on the issue

#NYC is the first U.S. city to declare a #ClimateEmergency. This comes after Mayor @BilldeBlasio expressed his climate change concerns at the #DemDebate2020. #CheddarNews https://t.co/VOryoLdT8w
By taking on the fossil fuel industry, creating new clean economy jobs and building greater resiliency citywide, Bill is confronting our climate crisis and demonstrating to the world what a Green New Deal looks like in practice. -Team de Blasio #DemDebate
