Multidimensional Sustainability Assessment of Cities and Regions in Europe

Environment Europe Foundation invites distinguished speakers from OECD, IUCN, WWF and BNP Paribas Fortis to discuss the various ways cities progress towards sustainability could be assessed through multiple performance indicators and models. We will be talking about the results of a new study that Environment Europe Foundation has carried out on 1300+ European Cities and Regions, exploring the experience, policies and approaches of the sustainability leaders in Europe and discussing how this experience could be used by cities around the world to facilitate the transition.

Summary

Environment Europe foundation will present a panel discussion and launch our new publication focusing on Multidimensional Sustainability Assessment of 1300+ Cities and Regions in Europe. Drawing on the extensive smart and sustainable cities indicator database at Environment Europe Foundation, we will present our assessment and explain which cities and regions in Europe are performing best on sustainability and why. The in-depth analysis focusing on CO2 emissions, green economy transition, circular economy, air pollution, health (including COVID pandemic) and innovation will be incredibly useful for all the participants representing cities in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Oceania and the Americas. The panel will include representatives of UN HABITAT, OECD and Environment Europe Foundation.

Objectives

1) To present the cutting edge information available on the sustainability performance of cities and regions in Europe;

2) To discuss lessons learned in relation to CO2 emissions and decarbonisation strategies, green economy transition, circular economy, air pollution, health (including COVID pandemic) and innovation;

3) To generate useful insights for the cities of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Oceania and the Americas based on extensive sustainability research at Environment Europe Foundation.
