CityLinks Webinar: Urban Intersections – Food Security, Water, and Climate Change
May 12, 2015 @ 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Free
In order to ensure more sustainable urban development, cities and metropolitan regions need to respond to the triple challenge of ensuring adequate access to sufficient water, energy, and food for their population; sustaining local economic development; and sustainably managing resources while addressing the challenges of climate change adaptation and mitigation.
The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) invites you to participate in a free interactive webinar hosted by the USAID-funded CityLinks program in collaboration with the RUAF Foundation-International Network on Urban Agriculture and Food Security and the CITYFOOD network to discuss promising approaches local and metropolitan governments can use to connect urban food security, water and sanitation, and climate change strategies and programs in the context of sustainable development goals and the shaping of a New Urban Agenda.
Join Carmen Vogt (GIZ), Nevin Cohen (City University of New York), and Emani Kumar (ICLEI) on May 12th for a one hour panel discussion followed by an audience Q&A, moderated by Marielle Dubbeling (RUAF Foundation). This will be the first in a two-part webinar series.
You will learn about:
The urban nexus approach; why it is relevant, and how it can be operationalized
Case studies from New York, USA and Nashik, India and other pioneering experiences
Networks and resources in this area
Start Time: Date/Time: May 12, 2015 at 11:30 AM EST 17:30 PM CET, 21:00 PM IST
