Adapting to climate change is a major challenge that cuts across sectors and levels of government: from transnational to regional and local. Cities and regions must work together if they are to develop effective strategies to address their local vulnerabilities and boost resilience.
This half-day seminar introduces transferable best practices and scalable approaches on how cities and regions can together develop policies and actions to address risks, create resilient infrastructures, and foster a better quality of life for their communities. Among others, this event will address the following questions:
- How can cities and regions work together to manage climate-related risks, foster resilience and ultimately boost local sustainable development?
- What are the roles and competences of different players at the local, regional, national and EU level. How can engagement of communities be ensured?
- What obstacles exist (e.g. legislative and financial) to making infrastructure more resilient?
