UITP’s Post

🌡️Climate change is an existential and unpredictable thread. We need to put our organisations on a path of adaptation, protect our lives and assets contributing to the general interest -- otherwise sustainable mobility solutions will be strongly disrupted and in turn our communities will be weakened. 👀I would recommend to have a look at this paper showcasing a global collection of sound and best practices from stakeholders across the public transport sector. 🤝Joint forces of the #UITP #SustainableDevelopmentCommittee and the #AuthoritiesCommittee.

Urban Asia and its climate adaptation challenge From sponge cities to coastal forests, Asia is seeking ways to work with nature and prepare for the risks in a warmer-than-expected future. This Eco-Business video looks at what else cities need to do to strengthen climate resilience.

European Environment Agency - Urban Adaptation in Europe: What works? Implementing climate action in Europe's cities Average temperatures across Europe are rising faster than the global average, and Europe's cities are feeling the impacts of climate change more regularly and more severely. With the summer of 2023 breaking temperature records, the case for investing in societal resilience to climate change has never been clearer. https://lnkd.in/dJ3pH2ae #europe #climatechange #climatechangemitigation #climatechangeadaptation #cities #europeancities

🌊 Exciting Developments in the Ocean-Climate Nexus 🌍 The #Ocean Decade Challenge 5 spotlights the crucial link between oceans and climate, vital for tackling the #climate crisis. At the Ocean-Climate Innovation Hub, Kenya, we emphasize the ocean's pivotal role in combating #climatechange. Unfortunately, climate impacts have severely affected the ocean's resilience. The latest UN Ocean Decade Vision 2030 White Paper highlights recommendations from global experts to leverage ocean-based solutions. These insights are pivotal for decision-makers striving to harness the ocean's potential in climate action.

📢 Tune in! The Climate Chance Europe 2024 Wallonia Summit is taking place tomorrow. #Climate adaptation will be a focus of the discussion, which aims to provide practical solutions for achieving the #EU Green Deal. Learn more👉 https://lnkd.in/eE9eC8A3 Climate Chance #eu2024be

Hello, world! This Saturday, June 8th, from 12:00 to 13:00 (UTC+3), Anna Antonyak and I are hosting a free online workshop on climate change, and we invite you to join us! It’s free, online, just an hour long, and perfect for anyone interested in the topic but who has questions to fill in the gaps. Have you ever wondered: 🤯Aren’t we doomed already? 🤔Aren’t we already doing enough? 🧐Who’s to blame for current emissions? 🤓What exactly should humanity do to win the climate battle? 🥺Do my personal efforts truly make a difference? If so, you should probably sign up! We’ll explain what the best available science says about climate change using the En-ROADS Climate Simulator, developed by Climate Interactive and the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative. Anna is their certified ambassador, by the way. Earlier this year, we hosted a similar (though much longer) event in Cyprus, and every participant left with some unexpected insights. Interested? RSVP using the link below, and the event will be added to your calendar. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqPy4V5d 🔗 Feel free to share this with anyone concerned about climate change! --- #ClimateChange #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EnROADS #OnlineWorkshop #FreeEvent #ClimateSolutions

📆 In February, the Climate Chance Europe 2024 #Wallonie Summit took place. This was the first European summit dedicated to #climatechangeadaptation issues, #naturebasedsolutions and #resilience. ✒The meeting produced the “Liège Declaration“, an ambitious collective roadmap. Its key messages will be conveyed to the European institutions with a view to a renewed and strengthened #EuropeanGreenDeal after 2024.

Do you know how your city is faring against climate goals when it comes to mobility emissions?   Our recent Oliver Wyman Forum research shows that none of the 12 global cities analyzed will meet Paris Agreement goals by 2030, including major cities such as New York, Paris, Singapore and Dubai.   This is in contrast to current beliefs of almost half of the 8.000 citizens we asked in our global consumer sentiment survey, who think that their city is doing enough to hit climate targets.
