Marvin Rees says he flew the 9,200-mile round trip because virtual attendance 'wasn't on the table'.
Mr Rees responded to the questions in a press briefing held on 8 June via Zoom"It's fantastic that Bristol, a city of less than half a million, is being asked to take a platform at Ted and shape global thinking," he added.
According to a recent freedom of information request, organisers of the Ted conference paid $5,588 for the mayor's travel expenses, plus an unknown amount for his accommodation. His agenda included breakfasts, lunches, dinners, cocktails, hair and makeup "to give you a little glam for your stage moment", and a talk with the mayor of Vancouver."The argument was that mayors need to be involved in shaping international policy, so there's no irony because I was there shaping international policy," said Mr Rees.
"We can't leave it to national politicians because they're failing, we saw that at COP [climate conference in Glasgow].""Have another listen to my Ted talk and push my views up," said Mr Rees The mayor said the "national and international context in which we work" was not supporting cities to decarbonise and was "not coherent".He added: "If it leads to unlocking billions or potentially trillions of pounds to invest in cities, not just in the global north but the global south, then it's about how do you maximise the platform for that?"
