Ecocity World Summit 2019

In October 2019, more than a thousand delegates from around the world will convene in Vancouver for the Ecocity World Summit at the Vancouver Convention Centre (west). Jennie Moore, on behalf of the British Columbia Institute of Technology, will host this major event. 

The Summit will explore the rationale for Socially Just and Ecologically Sustainable Cities through presentations, field trips, and collaborative idea-sharing. Key sub-themes include climate action, circular economies, and informal solutions for development.

Delegates will also focus on the much-anticipated International Ecocity Standards: 18 standards for sustainable urban living with guidance for urban design, bio-geophysical conditions, socio-cultural features, and ecological imperatives.
