About

Observing World Cities Day on 31st October 2024, this session focuses on the critical intersection of rapid urbanisation and the climate crisis, with a spotlight on the challenges faced by the world's most vulnerable children. As urban areas expand and temperatures rise, the risk to those living in informal settlements—already among the most vulnerable—is escalating. How can local governments and civil society address these challenges, and what role can young advocates play?

This LearningXchange explores practical, innovative solutions that empower local communities to build resilience and drive sustainable urban transformation.

If you're passionate about creating inclusive, equitable, and climate-resilient cities, this is an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded professionals and thought leaders. Join us to explore the most pressing issues and emerging strategies that impact vulnerable children, and discover actionable steps we can take together to create a safer, greener, and more just urban future.

Register now to be part of this vital conversation and help shape the future for vulnerable children in urban spaces. Together, we can champion climate action, disaster resilience, and local solutions!
