We heard from city leaders, urban planners, policymakers, organizations & businesses, and immersed ourselves in concrete examples of: 🟢 cutting-edge urban planning strategies 🟢 green technologies' incorporation 🟢 data governance and digital solutions 🟢 blended innovative finance and new models for investment 🟢 cities leading the way in sustainable #UrbanTransitions. 🙏 Huge thanks to all our panelists and attendees (including everyone who didn't make it in the group photo), who provided valuable perspectives and practical solutions for building resilient and inclusive urban ecosystems.
About us
The Urban Transitions Mission (UTM) mobilizes decision-makers across all levels of government to prioritize climate-neutral and net-zero pathways enabled by clean energy and systemic innovation across all sectors and in urban governance. By accelerating capacity-building and closing the gap between research, development and deployment, the Mission will empower cities to adopt innovative solutions and help reach tipping points in the cost and scale of those solutions for urban transitions. Launched at COP26, the UTM is one of the seven missions of Mission Innovation. Mission Innovation is a global initiative catalyzing a decade of action and investment in research, development, and demonstration to make clean energy affordable, attractive, and accessible for all.

Last week, I had the opportunity to represent Miami-Dade County Office of Resilience at the Urban Transitions Mission (UTM) Global Innovation Summit 2024 in Brussels, Belgium for an exciting discussion on designing resource-efficient cities. Thank you Fulya (Aydın) Kandemir and Kamlesh Yagnik for many interesting insights from Turkey and India. The summit also focused on designing people-centered cities addressing mobility and access and designing smart and connected cities by leveraging digitalization and managing integration, interoperability, and data to mitigate vulnerabilities while enhancing urban systems. Other topics included data and digital solutions for evidence-based planning and policymaking, scaling up investment through public private collaborations, and keeping cities cool. Main takeaways - DATA DATA DATA and FINANCING! What a great opportunity to hear from and work with other UTM cities and many other impactful organizations on like challenges and successes. A special thanks to Giorgia Rambelli and Miriam Badino for an amazing summit! #Resilience #Sustainability #Innovation #UrbanTransformation #Digitalization #UTM2024 #SmartCities

La semana pasada tuve el privilegio de representar a Municipalidad de Renca en #UTMSummit2024, el encuentro global de la Urban Transitions Mission. Es muy estimulante ver como ciudades de todas partes del mundo se la juegan por avanzar en construir ciudades carbono neutrales y centradas en las personas, aprender de sus experiencias y compartir algo de lo que venimos haciendo en Renca, liderados por el gran Claudio Castro Salas. Vamos por más! Gracias especialmente a Giorgia Rambelli, Miriam Badino y todo el equipo de UTM por articular un ecosistema global de este calibre La Fábrica de Renca, Urban Transitions Mission Centre, Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM)

🌍 Exciting News! 🌍 We are happy to announce that the IEA Hydrogen TCP had the opportunity to co-organize two successful side events last week during the CEM15/MI9 Ministerial Meeting, Clean Energy Ministerial, Mission Innovation, in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. 📅 October 1st: We explored the need for cross-sectoral collaboration and financing to scale up Hydrogen Valleys and R&D for International Shipping and Communities in emerging economies. A big thank you to Trine Berg Hansen from Zero-Emission Shipping Mission, Piero Venturi from Clean Hydrogen Mission, Giorgia Rambelli from Urban Transitions Mission, and Dirk Heilmann from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for all their incredible and useful work that have allowed to organize this useful event. We would like to kindly appreciate the participation of our ExCo Member Representative of The Netherlands Carla Robledo. Thank you for your commitment and support. 📅 October 2nd: We focused on Scaling Renewable Hydrogen Fuel Uptake in global shipping. Our sincere gratitude goes to the Zero-Emission Shipping Mission, Clean Hydrogen Mission, RMI, UCL, and High-Level Climate Champions for their coordination and attention to this event. Both events show how important it is to continue fostering collaborative actions to completely realize hydrogen's potential as a clean energy solution. These actions allow us to identify key barriers but also to identify opportunities represented by hydrogen. We hope to continue collaborating with such incredible partners. Thank you all for your commitment and compromise to advancing hydrogen innovation. #CEM15 #MI9 #CEM15MI9 #CEMinFoz #MIinFoz #EIB #collaboration #CleanHydrogen #ZeroEmission #UrbanTransitions #RMI #RaceToZero #UCL #IEA #IEA #TCP

What an inspiring two days at the UTM Global Innovation Summit 2024 & UTMC Annual Conference! 🌍 It was an incredible experience to hear from city leaders, urban planners, and policymakers, all sharing invaluable insights on the future of our cities. The most moving moment for me was listening to Artem Semenikhin, the Mayor of Konotop in Ukraine. His powerful words reminded us that even in the face of war, the fight for sustainability must continue. His resilience and commitment were a stark reminder that the path to a sustainable future cannot wait. Thank you to all the organizers, panelists, and attendees for such a meaningful and forward-looking conference. Together, we are shaping cities that are not only sustainable but resilient and inclusive. 🙌🌿 #Sustainability #UrbanTransitions #UTM2024 #Resilience #DigitalSolutions #GreenCities

Today I have been on the stage at the Urban Transition Mission Global Innovation Summit, organised by Urban Transitions Mission. Assisted by Viable Cities (Per Grankvist Albert Edman Olle Dierks) I got to say a few words on what the Green Transition brings in forms of challenges and opportunities for us in Skellefteå kommun. The focus was on funding and financing and how we can use procurement in smart ways. But I also had the chance to highlight the need for the city to take a big responsibility in making this all happen - by making necessary investments but also by stating that yes, we believe in what is happening and we support the transition. If you think this is interesting, please check in on our Society Summit this autumn and also prepare for our Society Expo in 2026, SE26, where we can dig deeper into the topic.
