Event: The Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) project, a core project of the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP) on Global Environmental Change has been leading the way towards a stronger collaboration between academics, decision-makers, and practitioners in order to capture the benefits of urbanization and develop and conceptualize strategies to mitigate and adapt to global environmental change. Researchers and practitioners in the UGEC network continue to explore new themes within the framework of Global Environmental Change (GEC) science, focusing on the impacts of GEC on urban areas and the responses of urban areas to those impacts.
