Annual interim climate negotiations. Given the continuous increase in the significance of the topic of cities/multi-level climate action, as well as its coupling with the Daring Cities initiative, participation from the urban sector would make sense.

The conference will address new and emerging issues, and the urgent need to fully implement the 2030 Agenda to support reform of the international financial architecture (IFAs).

The 4th Forum of Mayors will emphasize the crucial role of cities and local actors in leading the way towards a brighter and more sustainable future for all. 

Main Conference on Climate Mitigation and Adaptation. The topic of urban areas is gaining increasing prominence in the negotiations and in the side events, highlighted by a thematic day, the first urban ministerial at COP27, and the urban climate initiative SURGe.
