C7 Canadian Cities and Regions Talanoa Dialogue
This session, co-hosted by ICLEI and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, is part of ICLEI’s Cities and Regions Talanoa Dialogues. It aims to support the Talanoa process to take stock of and strengthen our national climate plans, or National Determined Contributions (NDCs), through an inclusive multi-stakeholder process. It also has as an objective to showcase climate action and leadership at the subnational level and how to increase involvement in national and international climate policymaking.
The Talanoa Dialogue is divided into three different questions: where are we? where do we want to go? and how do we get there? Participants to the Talanoa Dialogue shall respond each of the questions sharing their stories. Stories can be different from one question to the other depending on the input the participant would like to share.
The first part of this Canadian Talanoa Dialogue will have an international lens, focusing on how other cities and regions are working on these Talanoa Dialogues, and will present where we are at in Canada, with addresses from federal, provincial and municipal representatives.
This second part of the TD session will focus on the Canadian context and is open only for Canadian participants.
