Extreme weather webinar

4 July 2014, 11.00 - 12.00

Unusual and extreme weather events are likely to increase in frequency as a result of climate change. This presents significant social and economic risks for Europe’s cities. To ensure your city or region is ready to adapt, attend our complimentary webinar designed to help public agencies and private sector businesses develop adaptation capacity for extreme weather events.

The webinar will help you learn: how to assess your own city’s preparedness and capacity to adapt; key lessons from city adaptation work carried out across Europe by Ricardo-AEA and ICLEI; the measures that are needed to address climate change in the long-term; methodologies and tools for effective adaptation and mitigation; how companies can improve cities’ economic climate resilience; and how businesses can best position themselves to support the climate adaptation agenda.

Speakers include Jonathan Perks, Principal Consultant at Ricardo-AEA, Holger Robrecht, Deputy Regional Director of the ICLEI European Secretariat and David Ballard, Founder of Transition Pathways. The event is completely free of charge and registration couldn’t be easier: simply register your interest by visiting http://bit.ly/CityWeather and signing up.
