Objective: As a follow-up to the 2018 Edmonton Cities and Climate Change Science Conference, the Innovate4Cities 2021 Conference (I4C) aims to bolster knowledge, support solutions, and mobilize the potential of cities to lead zero-carbon and climate-resilient transformation. I4C will contribute to the COP26 in November, and to the Special Report on Climate Change and Cities in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) cycle.
Audience: The Innovate4Cities Conference will reach a virtual audience of 1,000 city leaders, urban practitioners, national government representatives, scientists, researchers, innovators, academics, civil society groups, youth, and business people. Together, we aim to advance pragmatic, action-oriented research and science that will help cities reduce their carbon footprint and increase their resilience to climate change.
