As cities emerge at the frontline of climate change, urban residents offer unique perspectives on its impacts, making their participation vital in shaping adaptation. In this session, CitiesAdapt and BIOCITIES proudly offer young people from Mexico a stage to share their views and ideas on climate change and adaptation:    Listen to the winning team of the regional CitiesAdapt student competition present their idea on how to re-design a public space in Plan de Ayala Sur, Mérida and hear about the “Ecochavos”, a project aimed at young people between 13 and 18, who collaborate to conserve the natural resources of their territories, develop their capacities, and promote meaningful learning.  Join us to learn about best practices in youth-oriented participation measures and their perspective on local climate change impacts and urban adaptation ideas! INVOLVED: Moderation: Aikaterini Karapantsiou & Joao Vitor Krieger Speaker #1: Representative from Mérida (tbc) Speaker #2: Winners of Regional Student Competition in Yucatán (tbc) Speaker #3: Students participating in Ecochavos project (tbc)  LANGUAGE: English, Spanish Join MS-Teams Meeting

Designed to empower policymakers, practitioners, and enthusiasts in the field with up to 100 GIZ’s Urban Climate Resilience approaches in 30 different countries, this work in progress will soon be published on the AC.net website.  During the pre-launch, we'll be delving into the toolbox’s potential to promote best practices and support project implementation and knowledge exchange. We invite GIZ colleagues to share their first reactions on how it can pave the way for replication and scaling up successful approaches.

With its‘ „ISCN Global Mixer“ the International Smart Cities Network of GIZ brings you a wide spectrum of selected Smart City topics in less than 30 minutes. Fresh and innovative ideas, as well as out-of-the-box-content or experimental approaches from the very frontier of Smart City development await you. Join the curiosity! This time: Smart Cities often focus on efficiency gains, more evidence-based planning and policy, or sustainability. But a truly common-good oriented Smart City also enhances its inclusionary capacities, because Smart Cities are indeed for everyone. This ISCN Global Mixer gives us a lucid insight into how Smart Cities can do Inclusion right.

Fresh and innovative ideas, as well as out-of-the-box-content or experimental approaches from the very frontier of Smart City development await you. Join the curiosity! This time: Mobility is a core sector for common good-oriented development of Smart City. Many data are collected to inform the planning of mobility transitions, but also to leverage new information and data exchanges as well as innovative monetization possibilities. A “lighthouse project” in that regard is the Mobility Data Space, an initiative by the German government. INVOLVED: Dr. Andreas Heindl, Acatech Register here
