Sustainable Cities: The Urban Drive in Climate Action

Urban Circuit presents the event “Sustainable Cities: The Urban Drive in Climate Action”, a gathering focused on discussing the role of cities as key actors in the fight against climate change. The event highlights the urgency of local and collaborative actions to build a greener and more resilient future. Structured as a discussion panel, the event fosters an open and plural dialogue on urban waste management and what originates waste. Moderated by biologist Camila Hüning, the panel brings together civil society (represented by Ana Paula Schmitz), the executive branch, and the private recycling sector. This diverse composition ensures a comprehensive discussion that explores the challenges and solutions for urban waste under multiple perspectives—from public policies and technological innovations to community engagement. The panel will delve into how urban planning and citizen participation, in conjunction with public and private initiatives, can transform the waste problem into opportunities for more sustainable development. The goal is to inspire and raise awareness among participants, encouraging them to become agents of change within their own communities.
