Cities Climate Action Workshop: Pioneering digital twin solutions for climate-resilient cities

Cities Climate Action Workshop: Pioneering digital twin solutions for climate-resilient cities

Pioneering digital twin solutions for climate-resilient cities

 

As climate risks intensify and urban infrastructure ages, government leaders face mounting pressure to drive sustainable, tech-forward transformation. This workshop - hosted by SmartCitiesWorld in partnership with BizzTech at the Cities Climate Action Summit 2025 - offers practical insights into how digital twin technologies and the metaverse can enable smarter, faster, and more resilient urban development - especially in underdeveloped or post-conflict regions.

 

Attendees will gain exclusive access to the UkraineVerse initiative, a groundbreaking platform that blends digital twins, AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies to accelerate reconstruction, enhance transparency, and create sustainable urban ecosystems. This session will equip policymakers with actionable strategies for digital governance, cross-sector collaboration, and climate adaptation that can be replicated across diverse geographies. We’ll look at how this initiative provides a roadmap for other regions struggling with climate vulnerabilities and infrastructural deficits.
