Affected by the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, cities are facing the challenge of rebuilding economic and social development. In May this year, The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group released a statement of principles to shape the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Mayors, representing millions of people worldwide, pledge “to build a better, more sustainable and fairer society out of the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.”, calling for cooperation to improve the resilience of cities and communities, and ensure that the recovery after COVID-19 is healthy, fair and sustainable.

This year, the Annual Assembly of ICLEI Taiwan Member will join hands with the SCSE Sustainable City Forum. Under the theme of "Green Recovery in the Post COVID-19 Era", representatives from ICLEI and EBRD member cities are invited to share their vision and policy plan for urban green recovery. In addition, ICLEI Taiwan member cities will share the advantages and challenges in climate and sustainable development from the perspective of Taiwan cities, and how to integrate climate change adaptation and sustainable value into urban policies.
