About the webinar
International agendas recognize the importance of cities for a safe, equitable, resilient and sustainable future. This is especially relevant in Latin America, the most urbanized region in the world, where cities are highly vulnerable to climate change. Local governments play an essential role in achieving these objectives, as they are key in the design and implementation of local development policies that require a strong component of urban governance, particularly participatory decision-making processes that involve all stakeholders and ensure the implementation of actions to build climate resilience. But many times these local governments, mainly in medium and small cities in the region, do not have the necessary information for climate action.
This webinar will present the Climate Resilient Cities Initiative and two implementation experiences in six cities with different realities and contexts, which have managed to provide valuable information on the vulnerability of cities in a participatory manner and validated by key stakeholders, which can inform concrete actions to build climate resilience. The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].
