Municipality of Amsterdam: PechaKucha with climate adaptation initiatives – Road to CAS webinar
Channel: CAS TV
Date: 2020-10-26

How do we prepare the city of Amsterdam for today’s and tomorrow’s climate? How do we keep a cool head and our feet dry? What is going on already, who are the actors, and what can you do yourself?

Climate change and the extreme weather conditions that entail from it constitute a major point of concern for Amsterdam. There are risks, but certainly opportunities, too. The Municipality aims at inspiring youth to be part of the transformation, as well as at stimulating awareness and knowledge of climate change and climate adaptation.

In the course of one hour, eight PechaKucha participants present their projects and initiatives from fashion to beer brewery, which are contributing to a world that copes better with climate change and its “new normal” weather conditions.

Presenters include: Joop de Boer (Olympia), Sascha Glasl (Space & Matter), Haro de Jong (Buro Haro), Lotte de Raadt (Studio Lotte de Raadt), Remco Moen (Dutch turning tiles championship), Judith Everaars (Land van Ons), Laura Šilinska (Senscommon), Joris Hoebe (Rainbeer), Yvonne Modderman & Jeroen van der Voorn (Wijn van Bret).

CAS 2021: Accelerating Adaptation Action
Our planet is getting warmer, with growing impact on our societies and economies. The need to adapt to new climate extremes is driving actions that connect challenges with solutions. 

At the online international Climate Adaptation Summit 2021 in January, hosted by the Netherlands, global leaders launched a comprehensive Adaptation Action Agenda, with clear commitments to deliver concrete new endeavours and partnerships to make our world more resilient to the effects of climate change.

Over the course of 24 hours, a range of online events from all time zones inspired change and supported tangible solutions to the problems of a warming world, showing how we can achieve a climate-resilient future.
