SUMMARY:Adapting Together: Climate Stories and Strategies from Asian Cities (Part I) – Global Climate and Urban Actions
DESCRIPTION:About the Webinar Series – Adapting Together: Climate Stories and Strategies from Asian Cities\nHabitat Forum (INHAF), a civil society organization and CityNet member from India in collaboration with CityNet, AIDMI, CANSA, is launching a new initiative: a 5-part webinar series on Cities and Climate Change. The series is intended for all those engaged in the field of Urban Development, with the goal of responding to the unique and growing challenges posed by climate change. These challenges call for a rethinking of existing urban systems, practices, and governance mechanisms.\nCities all over the world are being battered by climate impacts such as extreme rainfall and consequent urban flooding. Since Cities contribute around 63% of nations’ GDPs, climate impacts are leading to heavy and repetitive damage and costs. Urban heat islands are posing mounting problems for livability, while spurring calls for increasing blue-green infrastructure in contexts of competing land use. Droughts and wasteful consumption have created crises in water supply in many parts of the world. Several Cities, including among CityNet members are striving to evolve, and implement coping mechanisms while also building systems to create long term resilience to these and other climate impacts.\nThe world as a whole, and individual nations, are also grappling with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions so as to check global warming that drives climate impacts. Besides national targets under the Paris Agreement, sub-national governments, especially Cities, are also being called upon to shoulder a substantial part of the emissions reduction burden, since Cities contribute about 70% of emissions. Cities are approaching these challenges in different ways and could learn a lot from each other about perspectives and practices.\nWebinar 1: Global Climate and Urban Actions\nThe first Webinar looks at the Global Stock Take on climate action and expected impacts on cities and local communities. Issues at the COPs relevant to cities, notably the non-binding Declarations on Urban Issues from COP27 to COP29, and the growing idea of mainstreaming urban issues in the COP process, would also be examined. Presentations would also enable an overview of best practices in local climate actions.\n
