Organised by ICLEI and the Federal City of Bonn, from 4th-8th October, this event is designed to empower urban decision-makers – such as mayors, city councilors, administrators, and urban thought leaders, as well as national government representatives, researchers, technical staff, business leaders, civil society decision-makers and community organizers – to lead in the climate emergency.

Daring Cities 2021 will build upon the success of last year’s premiere edition, which was the largest online gathering of the urban community on the climate emergency to date. Over 4500 attendees engaged in Daring Cities 2020 over the course of the three-week long virtual forum, which featured around 100 virtual offerings and 500 speakers, including the UN Secretary General, 8 Ministers, 7 UN Agency chiefs, and more than 150 Mayors, Governors, Councillors and other urban leaders.

Among those speakers will be Regions4 Secretary General Natalia Uribe, who will participate in the high-level session: “Accelerating Action and Advocacy on Climate Emergency – 2” on Friday, October 8th at 4pm.
