「全球市长联盟」矮化台湾 6都市长发中英联合声明：不排除退出
针对国际组织「全球气候与能源市长联盟」（Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy）近日把加入联盟的台湾六都国籍全列为「中国」之下，六都市长27日晚间发布联合声明，表示若「全球气候与能源市长联盟」未更改回原始注册名称，六都将不排除退出该联盟，以捍卫我方权益。

中英声明全文如下：
此致气候及能源市长联盟秘书长：
首先感谢贵联盟提供平台，让台湾六城市能够呈现关于减排与能源转型的努力成果，在联合国永续发展目标的前提下，携手为世界的未来尽一份心力。
然而，台湾六城市自加入贵联盟以来，从来就不是中国的一部分。对于本次注册名称遭到片面更改，列入中国的一部分，台湾六城市拒绝这项矮化的行为，拒绝被列入「中国的城市」。新北市政府已于今年9月15日发信向市长联盟位于比利时布鲁塞尔秘书处表达立场并要求更正，惟迄今仍未收到回复或更正。
台湾六城市强烈要求，请贵联盟立即停止这项错误行为，并将我方城市之注册名称，更改回原始注册名称。
若贵联盟无正面回应与行动，台湾六城市将不排除退出贵联盟，以捍卫我方权益。
Sustainable Taiwan, sustainable world. 地球永续不应矮化台湾。平等、互惠、尊重，是国际合作的基本原则，我方希望能继续维持和贵联盟良好的参与经验，并继续为全球永续努力。
