Resilience in the City, How?
15 November 2022 - 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Context
Resilient cities are able to withstand potential disasters, whether they are social, economic or geographical. The climate crisis, in particular, is affecting the way people live in cities more and more. It creates social injustices with the most vulnerable communities being affected the most. Some local governments in Europe address these challenges by adopting transformative policies and innovative solutions to increase the accessibility to basic needs such as health, sanitation, housing, food, transportation, and water management.
The Green European Foundation alongside the Green Thought Association, aim to be a part of the solution by organizing the webinar “Resilience in the City, How?” within the scope of the ongoing project “Cities as Places of Hope”.
About the event
During this conference, various urban actors, academics and green activists will gather to raise awareness, build capacities and discuss how cities could become more resilient. Within the scope of resilience, the experts will focus on the social and ecological issues caused by the climate crisis and social injustice through various examples.
