From Plans to Action: Examples from Antalya, Izmir, and Kaohsiung Passed

Thursday November 12, 2026 15:00 - 15:40 +03 The Swedish pavilion - Open for public

Cities are the biggest levers for ambitious climate action. In this session, representatives from four cities share their experiences in bringing ambitious projects from ideation to implementation. Experts from ClimateView, international organisations and research institutions draw insights from the experiences of the cities and suggesthow such initiatives can be scaled.

Cities sharing their projects include:

Antalya, host city of COP31 and the first municipality in Türkiye to prepare a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (2012), has entered its greenhouse inventory into ClimateView and structured its mitigation actions, including projects in its financing pipeline such as the next phase of the city's rail system, into a public transition dashboard.
İzmir has brought its Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan 2025–205 and its Green City Action Plan together on a single board: 99 actions and projects across buildings, energy, transport, waste, agriculture, adaptation and governance, including 45 adaptation and resilience interventions.
Kaohsiung, which hosted the Kaohsiung-ICLEI Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Community of Practice (ComP) workshop in March 2026, brought together representatives from ten cities across three continents. Building on its engagement through ComP, ClimateView has developed a preliminary dashboard using Kaohsiung's climate-related data to explore how the platform could support the city's 2050 net-zero transition, while assessing the potential for Kaohsiung to become the first city in the Asia-Pacific region to adopt ClimateView.

Join us for an action-focused session to gain inspiration and insights for city-level climate action.
