WSIS Forum 2023: Mayors High-Level Dialogue

Digital Solutions for Building People-centered Resilient Smart Cities for Better Climate Change Adaptation and Achieving the SDGs

Following the appreciation of WSIS Stakeholders for the first Mayors’ High-Level Dialogue at the WSIS Forum 2022, allowing Mayors and city stakeholders to share their progress in driving smart innovation in the city environment, Geneva Cities Hub wishes to follow a multistakeholder approach – as envisioned in “Our Common Agenda” by Secretary General Antonio Guterres – at the Mayors’ High-level events at the WSIS Forum 2023.

The Mayors’ engagement at the WSIS Forum will be an opportunity to discuss how Smart Cities are the drivers of innovative sustainable development and enablers to respond to challenges related to climate change. The event provides a unique opportunity to exchange views about new technologies and innovations to advance smart development and to discuss local and national experiences and best practices to identify and scale up relevant technologies and innovative solutions.
