Green Cities Dealing with COVID-19
In 2020 we have found our lives shaped by Covid-19; when we face down the consequences, are there Green solutions? How has the pandemic changed the Green paths our cities were on?
About the Event:
In this event we’ll be looking at how Green policies can be implemented at local level, to help face the challenges of Covid-19. We will also hear reflections from Green politicians on the ground, discovering how day to day governance is being disrupted.
Context:
This webinar is part of the GEF transnational project Cities as Places of Hope, which explores the power of cities to defy populist narratives and right-wing forces at the national level, and instead pursue progressive, transformative, and future-oriented policies across the continent.
Speakers:
- Susanne Rieger, Co-President, Green European Foundation
- Janet Sanz, Deputy-Mayor Barcelona
- Claire Roumet, Executive Director, Energy Cities
