At the same time, cities are facing rising costs from climate change, a global economic downturn and the prospect of tight municipal budgets. Forests and other nature-based solutions (NBS) can provide valuable health and economic benefits for city residents while fighting climate change, often at good value for money. But cities can cause unanticipated problems and aggravate existing inequalities if they fail to design their forest-related plans and policies thoughtfully. This virtual event will highlight the latest research and practice from Cities4Forests, an initiative led by more than 60 cities around the world, to better conserve, manage, and restore forests and other natural infrastructure. The event will showcase city leadership from Medellín, Colombia which has implemented an award-winning Green Corridors program. Speakers will also demo two new online resources from Cities4Forests:Urban Forests for Healthier Cities: Policy, Planning, Regulations, and Institutional Arrangements Social Equity Considerations for Cities’ Decision Making Related to Inner, Nearby, and Faraway Forests. These guides are being deployed as a tool to help cities adapt to climate change through the Global Commission on Adaptation’s Cities Action Track. They will also be highlighted at the upcoming Climate Adaptation Summit in January. The event will be hosted in both English and Spanish.

The 5th International Conference on Smart Data and Smart Cities will present novel research concerning the use of information and communication technologies in Smart Cities, and will also provide a forum for senior researchers, students, developers, practitioners and citizens to establish collaborations on new research projects in this domain. A smart city cannot be defined without a better involvement and connection of its citizens (smart people). The 5th International Conference will be held virtually in Nice, France as a collaboration among the Urban Data Management Society (UDMS), the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), the Mediterranean Institute for Risk, Environment and Sustainable Development (IMREDD) of Université Côte d’Azur and the UMR 7300 ESPACE Laboratory of Geography and Urban Planing at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). |

The Innovate4Cities team will present regional snapshots of identified knowledge gaps and needs for city climate ambition. In these sessions, we want to enrich these snapshots with innovative ideas, missed opportunities and partnerships. For every session we will ask a local city to offer its reflections on the presented needs and priorities. Student Energy will also bring in the voice of the youth and future leadership. Session attendees should be ready to run with adding ideas! |

The climate talks will be the biggest international summit the UK has ever hosted; bringing together over 30,000 delegates including heads of state, climate experts and campaigners to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. The challenge is not insignificant, but we must step up to it to save the environment we all live in. The UN Climate Change process is central to that collective action. |
