Over the last few years, the Olympic and Paralympic Games have emerged as major drivers of international city-to-city collaboration for a more sustainable and equitable urban future worldwide.
This hybrid event explores such a trend from the perspectives of Paris, Los Angeles, and Brisbane, the present and future host cities of the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Co-hosted by the City Diplomacy Lab, Columbia Global Paris Center, the US Embassy in Paris, and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
