Shaping Urban Futures for Climate Action

Join us for Shaping Urban Futures for Climate Action: Young People Leading Climate Action on World Cities Day, 31 October 2024. Bringing together young thought leaders with researchers and industry experts, this event explores the critical role of research in transforming cities toward a more climate just future.

Hear from inspiring youth-led climate activists and a dynamic host who brings passion and strategic insight to the movement.  

Aligned with this year's theme, "Youth leading climate and local action for cities," World Cities Day marks the conclusion of Urban October, a global initiative by UN-Habitat focusing on the opportunities and challenges of urbanisation. 

The event is hosted by the Centre for Urban Research at RMIT University, a leading knowledge and impact hub for urban action toward more climate just futures. Established in 2012, the Centre for Urban Research has grown into a large and dynamic hub of transdisciplinary research dedicated to shaping more sustainable, just, and vibrant cities. More than a decade later, we're excited to re-launch the Centre with a renewed mission and purpose, unveiling cutting-edge research themes and introducing our new leadership. 

Join us in amplifying the voices of young people and advancing the bold actions needed to tackle the climate crisis in our cities.
