Launch: Cities CHALLENGE – Showcasing experiences and Kick Off 2.0

During this session you will achieve insights on the positive effects of small-scale measures within sustainable urban development in our partner countries: Improving living conditions in cities requires integrated, locally adapted and concretely applicable solutions that focus on the needs of vulnerable population groups. Against this backdrop, the GIZ Sector Project CityRegions 2030 (now transferred to the GIZ Sector Project Cities) launched the „Cities CHALLENGE“ for the first time in 2019 on behalf of BMZ under the motto „2030 Agenda meets Urban Climate Action“. The ideas competition is now entering its second round. This session will explore the results and lessons-learned of the measures already implemented in Ecuador, Jordan, Namibia and Serbia by the presentation of an ePaper and quotes from the projects and will launch the second round with snapshots of the planned projects in Bangladesh, India, South Africa and Mexico.
