In a context of increasingly shifting global ecological, societal, economic, and geopolitical dynamics, cities are increasingly becoming the epicenters of polycrisis. However, cities are also at the forefront of effective action, policy innovation, resilience building, and best practices. By embracing foresight and strategic planning, cities can transform potential crises into opportunities for renewal and growth.The "International City Governance and the Ecological Transition" roundtable aims to invite speakers from leading international organizations to explore the importance of foresight in understanding global dynamics of change and the essential role of cities in addressing these challenges.
