MEXICO CITY (AFP) Some 60 cities from across the globe will this weekend sign

a voluntary pact to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Mexico City authorities

said Tuesday.

"For the first time we'll sign a deal to establish targets to reduce emissions

in the atmosphere, which the most important countries in the world have refused

to do," said Mexico City mayor Marcelo Ebrard.

Some sixty mayors will sign a document to be presented to a UN worldwide

climate conference in the Mexican beach resort of Cancun from November 29 to

December 10, said city environment secretary Martha Delgado.

Paris, Seoul, Dakar, Montreal, Porto Alegre and Stuttgart would be among those

taking part in the pact, officials said.

Mexico City will host a world summit of local and regional leaders, including

more than 1,000 participants from 90 countries, from Thursday to Saturday,

ahead of a world climate summit of mayors on Sunday.

The climate accord, set to be signed on Sunday, will appear in a public

register and on the Internet, Ebrard said.
