The city

The Municipality of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, has been a part of the Global Covenant of Mayors since 2015 and is working on developing its climate action plan, considering key actions to reduce emissions and risks, with the goal of having a short, medium, and long-term roadmap to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. In this regard, the Environmental Secretariat organized the webinar “Inclusivity in Climate Change Planning” on May 14, 2020.

This event introduced the methodology for Inclusive Climate Action developed by C40, experiences of inclusion and participation in urban planning in Medellín, progress in diagnosing the economic, social, and environmental context in Quito, and perceptions of well-being and quality of life in the city by the City Institute.
