The inaugural Sustainable Cities and Communities conference organised by Green Power Conferences in cooperation with WWF will focus on the practical challenges and opportunities cities and communities will face in order to tackle rising greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and congestion.

With currently nearly 50% of the world`s population living in cities and as the global majority goes urban, cities and communities face new challenges in terms of mobility and traffic, urban and spatial planning, building regulations, renewable energies and sustainability criteria.

The conference will provide attendees with a better understanding of financial challenges, risk management, architecture and urban planning and, with ample time allowed for discussion and debate, will empower participants to draw informed conclusions across all sectors involved.
