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.
