The 8th edition of the international Smart City Event will take place in The Hague from 27th – 28th June 2018 during the Volvo Ocean Race. Last year over 700 professionals from different countries and cities came together in The Hague. This year, experts from leading cities will be on stage to present their unique projects of smart cities. 

Themed “Liveable & Sustainable Cities: Embracing the Future through Innovation and Collaboration”, the 6th World Cities Summit in 2018 will explore how cities can be more liveable and resilient through better governance and planning, technology and social innovations, as well as collaborations with various stakeholders and with other cities. Through shared vision and active engagement, the public, private and people sectors can co-create innovative and integrated urban solutions for a more sustainable future.

Hosted by C40 Cities and The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy Cities4Climate: The Future is Us is an official affiliate event at the Global Climate Action Summit, and serves as the city-focused ‘kick off’ event for the Summit.

The 2018 Global Climate Action Summit will bring people together from around the world to showcase climate action and inspire deeper commitments from national governments, and each other, in support of the Paris Agreement.
