![Better a Future Australia - Lift Your Gaze: Australian Local Government Climate Action on the World Stage]()
This session is for councils, city networks and stakeholders. We’ll hear from local and international speakers on why COP26 is critical for local governments, consider Australian council’s successes and opportunities, and look at how Australian councils can work under one national umbrella group over the next 12 months to lead local climate action and help drive the global climate agenda.
![Race to Zero Dialogues]()
The Race To Zero Dialogues (9-19 November) are critical inputs to the UNFCCC Climate Dialogues from 23 Nov – Dec 4 to accelerate progress to meet the Paris Agreement. Together, both Dialogues will set the stage for the Anniversary of the Paris Agreement on 12 December as the world embarks on the ‘Race to Zero’ towards COP26 in 2021.
Each ‘Race to Zero’ virtual dialogue is organised by a key partner, under an umbrella programme curated by the High-Level Champions - topics range from zero carbon transition for transport and industries, to financing a healthy and resilient climate and improving resilience.
![#DaringYouth: We Dare You To...]()
This fun and collaborative session is for young people (youth, students, early-career professionals) who want to imagine daring visions of future cities. These “daring visions” will be written in a collaborative short-story format to push the boundaries of the ICLEI five sustainable development pathways, and form part of a #DaringYouth Statement: a collective vision of city futures to guide and inspire the urban leaders taking on the climate emergency. Participants will be asked to write a short-story about the future addressing one significant sustainability problem faced by their city.
