The Stakeholders’ perspectives webinar series aims to understand the needs related to climate services and their standardisation from the stakeholders' point of view. Each webinar focuses on a specific stakeholder group, aiming to learn about their experiences and requirements for the integration of climate-related information in their day-to-day activities. This next session will take place on June 5, from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST, and will focus on the needs for urban planning at different levels. It will examine how climate services are integrated into urban policy-making, with a special emphasis on equity.
Climate change is reshaping urban landscapes, often deepening existing social inequalities. Public policies at all administrative levels — local, regional, and European — play a crucial role in addressing these challenges. This webinar brings two experts on urban planning and public administration, representing both local and European perspectives. They will share their experiences on how climate services are integrated into urban policy-making, present good practices, and reflect on ways the climate services can be improved to help prevent or reduce inequalities exacerbated by climate change.
Speakers will include Minerva Campos from the Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona and Julia Rawlins from ICLEI. The session will be moderated by the Climateurope2 partner Marina Baldissera, from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and University College London.
