About This Event

Cities are on the frontlines, mobilizing and coordinating responses to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the atrocities of war. In the face of urban warfare and tragic human suffering, mayors and local communities have emerged as symbols of leadership, resistance, and resilience.

We will examine how cities are key actors in responding to the war; both on the battlegrounds in Ukraine and abroad providing humanitarian aid and welcoming refugees. Conversations will also explore the role of cities as diplomatic actors, movement builders, and voices of humanity on the global stage, and look ahead to the critical support cities will need to recover and rebuild.

Speakers and program schedule to be announced in the coming weeks.
