In partnership with ICLEI, we are delighted to launch a new initiative at Brussels Climate Week, an event focusing on #COP31. This timely event will connect local climate action with EU and international climate discussions. It will bring together cities that are involved in citizen-dialogue approaches, with EU and global counterparts to reflect on how their outcomes can inform EU climate-policy implementation, and how local priorities can be carried into international climate processes, including COP31 in Türkiye. The event will also explore how stronger European and global partnerships can drive delivery in the lead-up to COP31. Discussions will focus on the green transition as a driver of growth and competitiveness, the role of domestic targets in anchoring ambition, and the importance of climate resilience commitments for the protection of all citizens. The programme will support the positioning of Europe as a reliable partner capable of aligning economic strength with climate leadership. 📅 Monday 12 October 📍 Maison de la Poste, Tour & Taxis, Brussels 👉 https://lnkd.in/erUXESWk
