Registration (8.00 – 10.00)
Opening Plenary (10.00 - 12.00)
Description:
The concept of resilience has been mainstreamed into urban planning theory, practice, and policy over the past several years. What remains is to convert theory into reality by embedding resilience principles into the design and implementation of urban development plans across all sectors.Often, the true value of resilience is found at the nexus of two or more sectors, for example, waste, energy, and buildings or health, environment, and transport. There is beauty in the complexity of urban systems and societies. However, navigating interdependencies to buoy adaptive capacity and reduce risky behaviors – without introducing new hazards or undermining existing capacities – is a persistent challenge. As we have evidenced in past years, it requires meaningful multi-collaboration, community buy-in, and systems thinking. It also requires foresight to anticipate necessary or projected changes to the urban form, technologies, and social contracts.The opening plenary will consider where we are in the international processes and the local realities.

Opening dinner reception hosted by the city of Bonn
April 27
Description:
By investing in nature-based solutions (NBS) and preserving urban and peri-urban biodiversity, cities can address the complexity of resilience (and its financing), through sustainable and integrated approaches that make sense. This special thematic sub-plenary discussion will highlight the multiple benefits of NBS for urban resilience and adaptation to climate change, whilst also illustrating its potential to transform urban spaces and planning processes in the interests of more livable and resilient cities.
Speakers:
Facilitator: Holger Robrecht, Deputy Regional Director, ICLEI Europe, Freiburg, Germany
Representative from local government introducing their adaptation policies on nature-based solutions:
- Joshua Wycliffe, Fiji’s Permanent Secretary from the Ministry of Local Government, Housing and Environment, Suva, Fiji
