During this full-day event, representatives from a range of institutions and levels of government will gather to coordinate around the UrbanShift Brazil project, CITinova II. Because the CITinova II project aims to advance sustainable urban solutions and align city-level strategies with national climate goals, strong communication and planning across levels of governments is essential.
For this first National Dialogue for Brazil, UrbanShift will facilitate a series of in-depth discussions around how integrated planning efforts can incorporate new tools and methodologies to accelerate sustainable development in the country's urban areas.
While uniting stakeholders in collaborative and productive discussions, the Dialogue will aim to achieve the following goals:
-
Showcase innovative solutions for integrating urban-environmental planning into sustainable development in the metropolitan sphere
-
Obtain up-to-date information on capacity building needs and specific challenges that could be addressed during the CITInova II project in Brazil
-
Spark the commitment of local and national governments to discuss a series of actions to strengthen metropolitan management and governance
