Resilient cities in practice
How cities are tackling climate change through inclusive food actions

The session will focus on how cities from different geographies and stages in their food systems transformation journey are putting their local food ambitions into practice to tackle the climate crisis while ensuring social inclusion.Cities’ testimonials will be structured around 3 key questions: <ol><li>What strategies have they concretely put in place? </li><li>What impact have they achieved? </li><li>What lessons have they learned? </li></ol>The session will be split in 2 parts: half will be dedicated to short presentations by the speakers and half will be dedicated to a discussion with the audience. The session aims to trigger participants to think about how they could initiate local food initiatives to tackle climate change in their city and to reflect on the first steps they could take towards that end.______________________________________________________________________________________________________<h2>The speakers </h2><aside>40'</aside>"How can cities leverage their local food policies and initiatives to tackle climate change"Joy Carey - Senior Programme Officer, RUAF- - - - -"From multi-stakeholder food planning to innovative food sourcing models for the city"Thibault Geerardyn - Food Strategy Facilitator at Leuven 2030- - - - -"Urban and peri-urban agriculture for a climate resilient city"Raúl Terrile - Coordinator of the Food Program, Secretariat of Economic Development and Employment of the Municipality of Rosario , Argentinaand Daniela Mastrangelo - Technical Coordinator of the Secretariat of Environment and Public Space of the Municipality of Rosario, Argentina- - - - -" The City Region Food Systems tool in practice"Tokiana Rakotonirainy - Food Policy Coordinator, Municipality of Antananarivo, Madagascar and member of the Steering Committee of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pacta﻿ndCarmen Zuleta Ferrari - Urban Food Systems and Resilience specialist, FAO- - - - -Closing remarks: Jess Halliday - PhD, Associate, RUAF Global Partnership on Sustainable Urban Agriculture and Food SystemsModeration - Charlotte Flechet, International Food Smart Cities Coordinator, Rikolto <h2>Discussion</h2><aside>40'</aside>How did cities take their first steps to leverage their local food policies and initiatives to tackle climate change?
