United Nations MENA Climate Week 2022 Event (link)
New and radical spatial planning for systemic change in cities
March 28, 2022
1:00 – 2:00 PM CEST
3:00 – 4:00 PM (Dubai Time)
Cities play a critical role in our multiple crises: they are leading sources of GHG emissions, but also the places where different aspects of the climate crisis overlap and where strong responses are needed for a fair and just transition. It’s clear that the way cities are planned and managed needs to drastically change if we are serious about meeting ambitious but necessary targets for emission reduction and adaptation to a changing climate.
Action is now finally being taken by many city leaders, but is this approach enough to deliver the radical transformation our cities need to make good on our promises?
The spatial planning system is the main tool most countries have for managing urban environments: which moves are different countries in the MENA Region taking to ensure vital change to tackle the climate crisis?
In this participatory virtual event, expert planners from different parts of the region will exchange ideas and explore priorities using online tools to engage directly with the audience.
