We’re getting ready for the World Urban Forum #WUF12 and you’re invited to join us.

On 7 November 2024, 13:00 EET, WorldGBC and OECD Development Centre will co-host an event at this annual global conference, dedicated to sustainable urbanisation, held in Cairo, Egypt.

The in person event ‘Pathways to Net Zero: System innovations for emerging urban centres and zero carbon readiness in Middle East and Africa’ will take a tour through the systemic challenges we face in urban planning across the region when it comes to achieving sustainable and resilient built environments in developing countries.

Without solid action now, many cities face the risk of carbon lock-in, which can hinder the wellbeing of urban populations, now and in the future.
Our panel of speakers exploring this challenge includes:

– Aimée Aguilar Jaber, Programme Director, Hot or Cool Institute
– Vicente Ruiz, Economist, OECD – OCDE
– Amira Ayoub, Middle East & North Africa Regional Head, World Green Building Council
– Hala Omar, Sustainability Manager, Dar (member of Sidara Collaborative) & Vice-President of Egypt Green Building Council (Egypt GBC)
– Habiba Al Mar’ashi, Co-founder and Chairperson of Emirates Environmental Group (EEG), Board Member of Emirates Green Building Council and Vice-Chair of the WorldGBC Board.

We will be joined by Green Building Councils (GBCs) and partners from across the WorldGBC #MENA and Africa networks at this event.
