Open European Day

at Bonn Resilient Cities

5 July 2016

Bonn, Germany
Gustav-Stresemann-Institut e.V. (GSI), Langer Grabenweg 68, D-53175

EEA and ICLEI Europe join forces again this year to organise the 3rd Open European Day (OED) back-to-back with the Bonn Resilient Cities Conference.

Some of the key themes will include:

- Climate services, involving the production, transfer and use of climate knowledge, but also tools, methods and instruments to enable climate-informed decision-making. Climate services are increasingly important to support cities in becoming climate-resilient.
- Nature-based solutions, providing numerous benefits to cities and their inhabitants, if planned correctly.
- Mainstreaming adaptation by integrating different local planning processes and exploiting co-benefits and opportunities for combining climate change mitigation and adaptation measures.

Financing adaptation to make good adaptation solutions viable and create opportunities for change in cities will be reflected upon in the sessions and as a cross-cutting theme throughout the event.

Resilient Cities 2016

Annual Global Forum on Urban Resilience & Adaptation

6 - 8 July 2016

Bonn, Germany
Gustav-Stresemann-Institut e.V. (GSI), Langer Grabenweg 68, D-53175, Bonn, Germany

Resilient Cities - The Annual Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation - is the global platform for urban resilience and climate change adaptation, hosted every year in Bonn.

In 2010 ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, the World Mayors Council on Climate Change and the City of Bonn, Germany launched Resilient Cities, the first World Congress on Cities and Adaptation to Climate Change (in 2012 renamed as Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation). More than 500 participants and beyond 30 partners each year helped make Resilient Cities a milestone event connecting local government leaders and climate adaptation experts to discuss adaptation challenges facing urban environments around the globe.

The congress offers a number of sessions and events on a wide variety of topics amongst which were urban risk, resilient urban logistics, financing the resilient city, urban agriculture and food, smart infrastructure and many more.

Resilient Cities also supports the annual Bonn Declaration of Mayors – written by local leaders during the Mayors Adaptation Forum, organized with the World Mayors Council on Climate Change.

RAMSES 3rd Stakeholder Dialogue

Understanding vulnerabilities, assessing economic gains and unlocking the transformative potential of climate adaptation in cities

4 October 2016, 9:00 - 18:00

Rome, Italy

The 3rd RAMSES Stakeholder Dialogue will take place in Rome (Italy), on 4 October 2016. This is the last in a series of three Stakeholder Dialogues organised by the project and represents a unique opportunity for cities and urban adaptation experts and practitioners to benefit from access to the interim results of RAMSES, share their experiences and provide feedback to help guide RAMSES research.

Key questions will be understanding climatic and socio-economic risks and vulnerabilities in cities, assessing the costs and the benefits of different adaptation measures, and exploiting the transformative potential of climate adaptation and unlocking co-benefits.

The input provided by RAMSES experts including the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research, the Tyndall Centre at Newcastle University, the London School of Economics and Tecnalia will be shared and discussed with stakeholders in a two-way dialogue. Attendance is free of charge.

Resilient Communities II

5 - 6 October 2016

Bath, BA1 9DB, United Kingdom
South West Command Development Centre, Lansdown Road

Building community cohesion for a time of stress and shock

Community cohesion is vital for resilience. When testing times arise, through natural or manmade shocks, or when stresses in society begin to divide and polarise, that is when a community that has a shared identity and a common purpose is able to move forward together rather than fall apart.

This two day conference will explore how we can build social cohesion in preparation for change, it will look at global challenges and place these in national and local contexts demonstrating that we need top down planning to blend with grassroots initiatives.

A workshop on 6 October as part of the conference will discuss the findings and tools of the Smart Mature Resilience project.
