New Orleans mayor heads to South Korea for conference

• Cantrell, a staffer and a member of her executive protection team are on the Korean trip, according to John Lawson, the spokesman for the mayor's office.
• He declined to say what class airfare Cantrell would be flying and directed Axios to file a public records request through the city's law department.

What's happening: Cantrell will be the only U.S. mayor participating in the expo, according to City Hall.

• She's in a panel discussion about the "conundrum of coastal living."
• She'll also join a roundtable discussion with mayors from other countries to talk about the best practices of carbon neutrality.
• And she'll attend a roundtable to hear about the "role of corporations in achieving a sustainable future."

What she's saying: "As a low-lying coastal city, we are on the front lines of an already changing climate, and now, more than ever, we must take advantage of opportunities like these to see how other countries are approaching the same issue and share best practices," she said in a written statement.

Cantrell will be back in New Orleans on Sunday.
