Speakers
Transforming climate-friendly cities is a task of multi-level governance and wide stakeholder engagement. Rapid urbanisation, rising transport demand, and growing air pollution place significant pressure on urban environments, while also offering opportunities for transformation. Local and national initiatives across regions show how transformative strategic intervention and projects can cut emissions, improve air quality, and deliver wider environmental and social benefits.
This will be captured in the session “Cities by Experience”, bringing together representatives from Albania, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Jordan, and Lebanon to showcase their journeys in transforming cities with the support and technical assistance of development partners. The session will entail a round of presentations per each country, sharing practical results and lessons learned in responding to climate and mobility challenges in their own context.
Through short presentations and an interactive discussion, participants will gain insights into how diverse regional experiences can inform more inclusive, resilient, and environmentally sound approaches to urban mobility and climate action.
