Urban Pathways Conference

This event will showcase some of the activities of cities working together on sustainable urban development and will aim to take this further into a programme of implementation action delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Agreement and the New Urban Agenda. The aim of this event is to discuss the steps towards implementation, including concept development, the set-up of pilot projects, finance, and policy options.

The President of the Wuppertal Institute, Prof. Dr. Uwe Schneidewind, will give a speech at the beginning of the conference. Dr. Henning Wilts, Head of the Research Unit Circular Economy at the Wuppertal Institute, will talk about low-carbon urban development and what solutions are readily available to start the transformation towards low-carbon cities. In addition, Oliver Lah, Head of Research Unit Mobility and International Cooperation at the Wuppertal Institute, will give a short introduction to urban energy, mobility and waste-management solutions in replication cities.
