Description
Cities are increasingly exposed to complex risks in the face of climate change. They also provide spaces of opportunities to build systemic solutions for achieving greenhouse gas neutrality targets while adapting to climate change impacts. How can co-creative processes between science and society accelerate climate action in cities, how can model- and data-driven approaches support systemic solutions, and what are effective strategies and legal frameworks for their implementation? In this session, we would like to share current research works on these topics and discuss how our findings can be integrated across disciplines to support climate resilient development in cities.
