Exploring how cities can become carbon sinks, this event highlights innovative, inclusive approaches to carbon removal, sustainability, and resilience, bringing together city leaders, entrepreneurs, and civil society to turn ambition into action.
Cities are not only centers of risk but also hubs of human creativity and innovation. This event explores how urban areas can harness that potential to become carbon sinks, delivering resilient, inclusive, and tangible climate solutions. Building on the Climate High-Level Champions’ Impact Makers initiative, the session showcases diverse leaders, including mayors, Indigenous representatives, entrepreneurs, designers, and civil society actors, demonstrating innovative approaches to carbon removal at the city scale.
Nigar Arpadarai, Climate High-Level Champion for COP29, will participate in the program, providing strategic insights on aligning city-level carbon removal initiatives with the COP30 Action Agenda and broader global climate objectives. Her participation underscores the pivotal role of high-level coordination in advancing scalable, equitable, and impactful solutions in urban climate action.
Participants will engage with examples from global cities such as Quito, Curitiba, San Francisco, Baltimore, Boston, Helsinki, Zurich, and Belém, and explore strategies to mobilize finance, technology, and community engagement for carbon removal. The event also serves as a preparatory platform for the World Urban Forum (WUF12) in 2026, advancing global discourse on cities as engines of sustainability, resilience, and climate action. A networking reception will follow, fostering connections among donors, investors, CDR buyers, project developers, and city officials.
