Add world's population and current 'C40' news ... {{sister|project=wikinews|text=[[Wikinews]] has news on this topic *[[n:Bloomberg and Clinton create green alliance|Bloomberg and Clinton create green alliance]], Sunday, April 17, 2011}} You seem deletion "trigger happy" sometimes User:Arthur Rubin, what gives? 97.87.29.188 (talk) 22:04, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly inappropriate. Wikinews interlinks are supposed to be for categories of news articles, not individual articles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

n:Bloomberg and Clinton create green alliance still up for discussion. 97.87.29.188 (talk) 21:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:54, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Linking Wikinews and wp when relevant and helpful to "the reader", of course. 99.35.12.122 (talk) 22:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are tangential links, not worthy of a "See also" section. For example, {{Wikinews|Category:Environment}} is only relevant to Environment and Category:Environment, not to all environmental articles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding it until you can supply a reason. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Expand from useful reference World Bank to Help Cities Control Climate Change

From World Bank to Help Cities Control Climate Change by Alexei Barrionuevo: June 1, 2011 New York Times:

The World Bank signed an agreement [June 1st] ... to work on technical and financial assistance for projects to minimize the effects of climate change. ... announced at the C40 large cities climate meeting here, will ease access to financing for climate-change-reduction projects. It was hailed by many of the mayors, including Michael R. Bloomberg of New York City, and by former President Bill Clinton, who attended the event as part of a new partnership with Mr. Bloomberg.

The agreement will make it easier for investors who have been hesitant to finance projects to assess city action plans by providing a standard approach, said Robert B. Zoellick, the World Bank’s president. It will also provide a common way to measure and report on the greenhouse gas emissions of cities, easing access to carbon financing, he said. No single standard exists for reporting citywide carbon emissions.

“What is holding back the sustainable clean technology revolution for a lot of mayors and businesses and households in a lot of countries is the lack of green financing,” said Sam Adams, the mayor of Portland, Ore. “The partnership with the World Bank begins to address that.”

The C40 commissioned a pair of studies that provide, for the first time, a statistical baseline of greenhouse gas emissions produced by the 58 cities that are members of the organization, as well as a catalog of actions they are taking to reduce them. As Mr. Bloomberg, the chairman of C40, said, repeating a mantra from his business career, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” The C40 member cities have a total population of more than 300 million and produce 12 percent of global greenhouse gases and 21 percent of global economic activity. Of the 42 cities that participated in the research, more than half have adopted emissions-reduction targets, and nearly two-thirds have taken steps to address climate change.
