UrbanShift panel at COP26
Join us at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) to talk about the importance of multi-level governance in enabling zero-carbon, resource-efficient and socially equitable cities.
Organized by Brazil, Rwanda and CGEE (the Brazil-based Center for Strategic Studies and Management) with support from UrbanShift, this event will showcase examples of multi-level governance in practice, discussing how local and national governments, as well as the international community, can come together to achieve their climate goals.
Please email Elsa Lefevre if you have any questions.
