Cities in Action: Shaping Just, Resilient & Climate Neutral Urban Planning

Are you curious about how cities are addressing their challenges in the pursuit of climate neutrality, justice, and resilience? Do you want to dive deeper into practical experiences and engage in meaningful knowledge exchange with fellow city practitioners and innovative tool providers? If so, we invite you to pre-register for our upcoming event, "Cities in Action: Shaping Just, Resilient & Climate Neutral Urban Planning."

Cities In Action brings together urban practitioners committed to turning climate ambition into real, lasting change. While cities across Europe increasingly embrace climate neutrality goals, the shift from policy adoption to meaningful implementation remains a critical hurdle, especially when resilience and social justice are treated separately.

Drawing from the experience of 11 cities and initiatives like UP2030, this event explores how coordinated governance, stakeholder inclusion, and targeted capacity building can drive systemic transformation.  

Through panel discussions, interactive workshops, tool demos, and keynote speakers, Cities in Action will showcase how integrated planning, cross-sector collaboration, and community-led innovation can accelerate the shift toward just, resilient, and climate-neutral cities.
