Description of program elements
Congress sections are composed of the different elements detailed below. Several sessions will be held in parallel, giving participants the opportunity to make an "à la carte" selection of the sessions that they wish to attend.
Strategy Dialogues
Strategy dialogues are a unique and interactive program feature casting a light on urgent worldwide issues. Among the themes selected this year are:
- Urban design for resilience through water, food and energy security
- Ecosystem services for urban resilience: The urgency of action
Renowned international experts and leaders of international organizations will be present. Participants will learn from their expertise and let their future projects be influenced by these positive learning experiences.
Reality Check Workshops
Reality Check Workshops are the flagship series of the Resilient Cities congress with three to four workshops, each an in-depth case study of the challenges faced and measures taken by a city attempting to adapt to climate change. More here.
City session stream
The city session stream will be an important feature of the congress sections: during each time slot allocated, participants will learn from the experiences of a great multitude of cities. Each city case will focus on the most significant example of the local strategy considered, which will provide in the end a patchwork of the most relevant strategies implemented worldwide.
