Kaohsiung is combining local climate action with a commitment to helping cities learn from one another. Six new case studies developed through the Kaohsiung-ICLEI Community of Practice share the governance choices and implementation lessons behind its transition, offering practical insights for cities pursuing climate neutrality and better lives for their communities.
The Kaohsiung–ICLEI Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Community of Practice delivered its first in-person capacity-building workshop series, providing strategic tools to advance urban transformation through circular development and agenda-serving innovation.
This interactive session showcased how creativity can enhance project design, build trust, and improve outcomes. From illustrated maps to promote nature-based solutions in Colombia, to the integration of art and policy to envision sustainable cities, to photos that portray community perspectives, creativity is a vital tool for driving sustainable change and fostering community engagement.
On 18 June, the first day of the ICLEI World Congress 2024 in São Paulo, Brazil, the Global Research & Innovation Symposium will convene researchers, innovators, urban practitioners, and investors to foster a new generation of “next practices.” Significant topics will shape this seventh edition, including high-level plenaries on the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities (SRCC) and discussions on agenda-setting innovation and emerging technologies. The event also features its signature Research & Innovation Marketplace, offering an interactive space for bridging the gap between concepts, action, research, and financial support.
