11 November 2021 - PEAK Urban @ the COP26

This event focused on placing equity in cities at the heart of climate action, drawing on findings from the recently launched World Resources Institute report. The session laid the foundations to accelerate collaboration on transformative solutions for integrated planning, equity, gender, resilience, urban land management, finance, data, governance, and more. It also offered the opportunity to advance collaboration and strategic partnerships—both new and old—to include new actors and themes that are important in this COP.
