About this session
A global roadmap for climate research and action in cities was just updated — but does it work for Oceania? Join the Innovate4Cities authors of the Global Research and Action Agenda for Cities and Climate Change Science for a lively panel and workshop testing that global agenda against Pacific and Australian urban realities. No jargon, no assumptions — just a direct conversation about what our cities and towns actually need from climate research, and how to make sure the world is listening.
