As urban populations grow and climate impacts intensify, cities are under pressure to become more resilient, liveable and aligned with nature. At the Cities & Nature Stage, you will explore how urban environments can be transformed through climate-smart planning, nature-based solutions and inclusive policy frameworks that benefit people and the planet.
Join stakeholders from central and local governments, the private sector and environmental organisations as they showcase the strategies and innovations driving sustainable urban development. From restoring biodiversity to adapting to blue economy and sustainable live sports and events, the sessions will spotlight scalable, cross-sector solutions that will enable you to contribute towards a more sustainable future.
