Conference success in terms of commitment
On the eve of the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen, the City of Rotterdam hosted on 3 and 4 December a unique international conference on sustainable urban area development. For two days cities, scientists, experts and businesses discussed the best blueprint for cities. High profile international speakers like EU-adviser Jeremy Rifkin and toparchitect Winy Maas captured the hearts and minds of more than 400 delegates, of which 40% came outside the Netherlands.
On the last day the participants collectively undersigned a statement that they will co-create New Green Deals. These signatures will be presented to the Copenhagen summit to show that cities worldwide can really make the difference.
