Incorporating Technologies in the Long Term Practical Strategies for Cities in the Technological Race for a Sustainable Future

The Workshop is a synergistic partnership between ICLEI South America and IPGC. This intensive one-day meeting is dedicated to equipping municipal leaders, urban planners, technology innovators and sustainable development stakeholders with effective and practical strategies for integrating climate mitigation technologies into urban structures. Amid the global urgency for climate action, the workshop seeks to act as a catalyst for sustainable urban transformations, exploring best practices for fostering public-private partnerships (PPPs), accessing innovative financing and implementing effective concession models.
The core of the workshop focuses on exploring mechanisms such as climate funds and PPPs to embrace investments and these technologies. Impact assessment, an indispensable tool in any urban planner's toolbox, will also be highlighted. The day will culminate in a collaborative solution design session, where participants will be challenged to apply their learnings to the development of technological solutions to specific urban challenges. This activity not only solidifies the knowledge acquired, but also promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, a cornerstone of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through dialogue, collaboration and innovation, the workshop aims to equip participants with the tools and knowledge they need to transform their cities into bastions of sustainability, aligned with the SDGs and ready to face the climate challenges of the 21st century.
