Meriti + Verde: The City We Want to Build Together

Theme: Climate Action and the Urban Environment Format: On-site/online Name of the event: Meriti + Verde: The City We Want to Build Together Focusing on climate action and strengthening the urban environmental agenda, the event seeks to engage the community, public managers, educators, students, and local leaders around concrete solutions for the city’s sustainability. The approach will be participatory and educational, promoting dialogue between government and civil society, and highlighting local experiences that already contribute to urban resilience. The event is directly aligned with the central theme of Urban Circuit 2025, as it recognizes that the challenges faced by cities such as São João de Meriti — marked by rapid urbanization, territorial inequalities, and high socio-environmental vulnerability — demand integrated, inclusive, and territory-based responses.
