ESBJERG: Esbjerg's mayor Jesper Frost Rasmussen (V) will leave on Wednesday for the Vatican's three-day climate conference "From Climate Crisis to Climate Resilience" ("From Climate Crisis to Climate Resilience" ed.). Here, together with 25 mayors and governors from around the world, he will discuss the green transition, as the only representative from Denmark. The conference also includes an audience with the Pope. This is reported by JydskeVestkysten.
He received the invitation in March at the world's largest energy conference CERAWeek in Houston, Texas. Here, the municipality's municipal director Rikke Vestergaard was tapped on the shoulder by a representative from the Vatican with the invitation to the mayor. At the time, the Esbjerg mayor, who also holds the title of president of an association of leading energy cities in the world – WECP - World Energy Cities Partnership – thought it was a joke.
- Of course, I have read that Pope Francis is very interested in the climate agenda, but at first I thought it was a joke. You kind of get a little ... well, it was a stranger who approached you and said he worked for the Vatican, so you just have to see the written invitation before booking the plane ticket, says Jesper Frost Rasmussen.
