We hear how climate adaptation can be integrated into general urban planning, how key actors communicate to make sure politicians opt for, stakeholders collaborate on, and citizens get involved and have their say in adaptation measures.

Big changes are needed to transform the way we build our cities. Let’s unpack who needs to do what and let’s learn how to do it: How to create a sustainable, liveable, and healthy built environment.

To understand how “social” and “green” can go together, we’ll learn how to rally enough people behind “green”, and how to talk to those who won’t. Because if the transformation benefits the few, the many will crush it.

This track focuses on the personal experience of those who drive change, on how to make change happen – and how not to. We will share highly inspirational stories, provide workshops on personal skills for change-making and offer in-depth engagement to help build resilience and grow as leaders.
