Description

This event will bring together academics, government representatives, and international institutions to discuss how climate mitigation policies can further shape health outcomes across cities in Africa, and how a systems thinking approach can contribute to these efforts. During the event, the OECD Development Centre will present key results and insights of a series of case studies in African cities that address the root causes of carbon lock-in, and kickstart the discussion on how climate policy can help reshaping urban areas, while addressing health outcomes. Panellists will bring different perspectives to respond to the following questions: • What are the key challenges African cities face in implementing policies that address the twin goal of avoiding carbon lock in and improving health outcomes? • How can local governments and international organizations collaborate to overcome these barriers? • How can systems thinking help in enabling and enlarging synergies between climate and health policies?
