Multilateral Consortium and Multistakeholder Collaboration in Knowledge Co-production for Climate-Resilient Cities

Climate hazards intersect multisectoral issues which determine climate-resilient housing strategy in urban informal settlements. The intersection of housing, livelihoods, environment, health, and social risks with climate hazards in urban informal settlements remain invisible in climate actions in Low-Middle-Income Countries. Our Urban Library Event presents a climate-housing dialogue involving partnerships across multilateral consortium institutions (global north and south) and multistakeholder collaboration (community organizations, governments, and technical experts) which integrates local, experiential knowledge with scientific knowledge for climate-resilient housing strategy in urban informal settlements. What to Expect 1. Presentation of archetype partnerships: Learn how community organizations, governments, and technical experts collaborate and shift from top-down, siloed to participatory approaches, co-produced solutions that address both climate risks and structural inequality in climate-resilient housing strategy in urban informal settlements. 2. Interactive discussion: Ask questions, share ideas, and learn about coalitions and institutional uptake of co-produced solutions to improve vulnerable living conditions in urban informal settlements. 3. Diverse Insights and Perspectives: Hear from those who helped shape the multilateral consortium and multistakeholder collaboration with views from global north and global south institutions, community organizations, governments, and technical experts.
