There are 31 days in October that we are having the opportunity to become part of promoting a better European urban future. Everyone interested in sustainable urbanization from national and local governments to universities, NGOs and communities is encouraged to participate in activities, events, and discussions of this UN-organization.
For municipalities climate change becomes a greater risk, every day. Some form of climate-resistant planning is needed. At the European Week of Regions and Cities 2019, CLARITY and BEACON presented solutions in adaption and mitigation to tackle climate change risks. Their interactive session hosted almost 100 people from urban and infrastructure planning and development, municipal decision-makers, energy and climate policy
Geo-Scientists from all over the world have gathered at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union in Vienna. There, researcher Claudia Hahn presented the CLARITY methodology to support cities adapt to climate change.
The EU sees climate change as a business opportunity and wants to promote new ideas. The "European Business Council" presented itself in Vienna for this purpose.
CLARITY supports cities and regions in adapting to climate change. At COP24 they will present themselves to the United Nations.
