Join us for the Climate Positive Europe Alliance, AISBL COP26 virtual Cities Workshop:
A Tale of Three Cities – showcasing city climate action in action
Friday 12 November 2021 from 2.00 to 3.30 pm
Cities can do things faster and are often referred to as incubators for at pace and scale climate action on mitigation and adaptation. In the spirit of COP26 Cities, Regions and Buildings Day on 11 November, this interactive workshop will explore what it takes to mainstream and firmly embed climate action at city and local authority level through replicable real life city and local authority leadership examples, each focusing on different angles of climate action with all of them directly responding to the following COP26 themes:
- Securing global net zero by mid-century and keeping 1.5 degrees within reach
- Adapting to protect communities and natural habitats
- Working together to deliver
Core questions covered
- What are the recipes for successful city action on climate change?
- What needs to be in place for cities to further accelerate existing policies and action?
- How do cities ensure citizen engagement and buy-in?
