The Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) initiative responds to the growing need to boost resilience at the local level. Crises such as COVID-19 and climate change remind us that managing disaster risk is everyone’s business, in which local governments play an instrumental role. Building resilience of local governments through robust risk governance structures and processes is a critical step to ensure that impacts are mitigated and measures are taken at the most localised and disaggregated level.
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Regional Office for Europe, in partnership with ICLEI Europe – Local Governments for Sustainability, invite you to this regional webinar, which sets in motion a decade for city resilience through the implementation of the MCR2030 initiative across the Europe and Central Asia region.
This event brings to light cities at various stages of their resilience journey. The city experiences aim to showcase how, through robust risk knowledge, planning and implementation, city resilience can be strengthened in a spirit of peer learning and partnership central to the MCR2030 initiative.
Changing emission standards, environmental and public concerns, increased road accidents and new technology are driving the biggest change automotive has ever seen. Delivering the sustainable, consumer loved, and actively safe vehicle takes time and money, but you only have so long before another competitor wins market share.
OEMs must make technological leaps in both electric vehicles and more-efficient internal combustion engines, whilst advancing autonomous tech to achieve zero road fatalities.
As this year’s Reuters Events Car of the Future 2021 we will showcase how OEMs are building the vehicle of the future to create a safer and sustainable world. This meeting is the one place for all your automotive tech news, updates and benchmarks, featuring the most impressive line-up in history!

World Urban Forum is the premier global conference on sustainable urbanization convened by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat. It examines the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanization and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies.
WUF 11 will be held in the Polish city of Katowice from 26 to 30 of June 2022 under the theme, Transforming our Cities for a Better Urban Future. It will provide greater insights on the future of cities based on existing trends, challenges and opportunities, as well as suggest ways cities can better prepare to address future pandemics.
Interested organizations can book exhibition space or apply to host networking and training events at the World Urban Forum. The deadline to apply for events – 7 March 2022. The deadline for exhibition space – 13 May 2022. Forms to book exhibitions and events are accessed through the personal profile dashboard after completing the online registration.

The developments that are needed in technology, financing and infrastructure to fast track the growth of the industry in a carbon free world
SAE Media Group is delighted to present the return of the 15th annual Energy from Waste conference taking place on the 5 -6 December 2022 back in London, UK.
Waste conference will bring together international waste management operators, developers, bankers, private equity financiers, technology providers and industrial end users for two days of intensive networking, discussing developments that are needed in technology, financing and infrastructure to ensure the solutions are available to fast track the growth of the industry worldwide.
With case studies from the leading Energy from Waste plants within UK and Europe the event will give an overall look into all aspects of running a successful facility. We delve deep into both small scale and large-scale production and understand the benefits and constraints found within both size projects, in addition to finding out how new innovations can maximise value and optimise investment returns.
A focus on how Energy from Waste sits within the UK’s ambition on the road to net zero and how technology within the Carbon capture and storage market coupled with the evolvement and implementation of district heating is an essential part of that journey. With updates on how legislation and policy can stimulate more investment this comprehensive conference remains an essential calendar date for those in the Energy from Waste community
Benefits of attending:
- Witness case studies giving updates on the challenges and opportunities facing Energy from Waste projects in England, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, The Netherlands, Scotland and Poland
- Learn of the technical challenges of optimising output from energy from waste plants and the compatibility of EFW with CCS and Hydrogen production
- Determine the trends, innovations and challenges of sustainable financing
- Uncover how carbon pricing can drive a more circular economy where resource productivity is higher and waste leakage lower.
- Understand the key economics of financing EFW plants and how they differ from other types of renewable generation
- Gain an in depth understanding of the opportunities that CCS technology has for Energy from Waste industry
- Discover if the EFW market in the UK is at capacity and where it is heading
