From the COVID-19 pandemic to the climate crisis, these challenges are exacerbating environmental, health, and economic disparities—within and across cities.

Virtual Event: Adapting Cities for a Changing Climate

The climate crisis is here, and cities are at the heart of it. New technologies enable innovative solutions to reduce emissions and mitigate the most severe effects, yet cities face a host of challenges in adopting and implementing them. Climate impacts and the technologies that could address them are often experienced unequally within and across cities. Can cities, governments, and the private sector overcome the obstacles to face the new climate reality together?

Join us to explore how technology can help cities create a more equitable and resilient future.

Since June 2020, the Pritzker Forum on Global Cities has been reconceptualized as a platform for yearlong conversations on the most pressing issues facing cities. Conversations at the Forum explore urban challenges and solutions through the lenses of governance, equity, and resilience.
