The global urban community will gather in Cairo, Egypt, for the 12th session of the World Urban Forum, organised by UN-Habitat, to discuss and address the most pressing urban challenges under the theme “It All Starts at Home: Local Actions for Sustainable Cities and Communities”.
As part of the event, IUCN will convene a ONE UN event, only reserved to UN agencies, multilateral development banks and intergovernmental organisations, titled Green Infrastructure and Nature-based Solutions in Built Environments Collaborative Frameworks to Address Climate Change.
The session, organised in partnership with The World Bank and Holcim Ltd., aims at showcasing the work carried out by intergovernmental organisations, multilateral development banks and the private sector to advance green infrastructure and regenerative built environments to address the climate crisis.
Dr. Hany El Shaer, Director of the IUCN Regional Office for West Asia, will moderate the interactive panel discussion, where participants will explore strategies for integrating green infrastructure and Nature-based Solutions into urban planning and development processes.
