Date: December 6, 2023
Time: 10:30-13:30 (GMT+4)
Location: Canada Pavilion

This interactive panel features multilevel experts from municipal government, Indigenous climate action, and civil society. To move forward on a national path that is sustainable, prosperous, equitable, and secure, we need a deliberate, multi-stakeholder approach that integrates climate, land-use, and economic action. This panel will speak to the work needed at the community level to build climate resilient and affordable housing, transition industries sustainably and equitably, modernize mobility infrastructure, and support Indigenous-led economic development. This panel will provide the audience with a starting set of actions to take back to Canada, shaping policy toolkits, driving funding, and reducing barriers to progress. With committed follow-through, the actions from this session will help to alleviate hardships felt by Canadians, and support communities in achieving our urgent climate goals.
