Resilience and climate adaptation: inclusion and integration for cities

The event focuses on developing strategies that aimed at socioeconomic inclusion while addressing the challenges of poverty and the impacts of climate change. The interconnections between SDG 7, SDG 11, and SDG 13 within the UN's 2030 Agenda offer numerous opportunities to enhance the quality of life for urban populations while simultaneously tackling climate change and its prominent precursor, global warming. This approach is based on enhancing the resilience and climate adaptation capacity of cities through social and economic inclusion, fostering partnerships between academia, society, and governments in the development of the mentioned SDGs. The central premise is that proactive and non-hierarchical dialogue among these sectors lay the foundation for any successful transformative movement toward fairer, more fraternal, and equitable societies, ultimately maximizing social, environmental, and economic justice.
