The conference is set to be a transformative gathering for urban sustainability leaders worldwide. Organised by ICLEI Europe, this flagship event will bring together city leaders, urban planners, policymakers, and sustainability experts to share insights, forge partnerships, and catalyze action towards greener, more resilient urban futures.
The ESCT conference series seeks to challenge local governments to shape a new urban reality, one which is sustainable, resilient, and just. This will be Aalborg’s third time hosting an ESCT conference; their first times led to the ground breaking Aalborg Charter (1994) and Aalborg Commitments (2004), both of which have been recognised as local sustainability milestones. This edition will build on the legacy of previous events including, most recently, the 2020 conference that led to the Mannheim Message, which will result in the forming of the Aalborg Conditions.
Aalborg2024 will address the most pressing issues facing urban sustainability experts are facing today. The conference will dive deep into the big topics – more bottom-up and consistent shared governance, more efficient and private integrated finance, and a more inclusive and cohesive transition.
Attendees will enjoy a varied line-up, including plenary sessions, deep dives, workshops, mobile workshops, an exhibition space, speed and pitch presentations and more, as well as an enriching social offer including a 30-year celebration dinner, and various cultural activities.
