Scientific evidence that human activity is the principal cause of global climate warming is unequivocal (IPCC, 2023). No matter the evidence examined, the data are compelling – global temperature rise, warming oceans, or shrinking ice sheets. Climate scientists sounded the alarm as early as the 1950s. However, politicians at all levels and world leaders have only recently resolved to address the climate crisis. This conference will look to address the fundamental questions about the role and experiences of regions, cities and their governments in the face of the global climate crisis.
Conference themes include:
- The value of scales of intervention – from the international, national to local. Does the city scale really matter in making cities climate resilient?
- The role of the private sector in urban climate action – e.g., creative financing and pension funds, real estate firms?
Reflecting on broader urban-rural political tensions and impacts on city resilience?
Submission Deadline is: 1 February 2025
