Meetup #2: SDG 11 | Sustainable Cities and Communities

In October we’ll be focusing on SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. This goal creates a future in which our cities are inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable – with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.

ROEF > https://roefamsterdam.nl/
Did you know Amsterdam's uncultivated rooftops add up to 25 times the size of the Vondelpark? Green rooftops contribute to biodiversity, air quality and adaptability to extreme weather. That's why ROEF organises an annual rooftop festival to inspire the creation of green spaces in Amsterdam - on the city’s rooftops!

KNOWLEDGE MILE PARK > https://knowledgemile.amsterdam/park
Knowledge Mile is the Amsterdam's innovation district, running from the Amstel Station to the city hall. It consists of 30K residents, 60K students and around 200 companies, hotels, museums and municipal institutions working together to solve urban issues relevant to this area and beyond. The Knowledge Mile Park project creates more green spaces on the pavements, facades and rooftops to turn this area into the highest and longest city park in Amsterdam.

YOU!
The event will continue with an interactive process facilitated by Impact Hub Community Catalyst Yeliz Mert. In this part of the event, we will generate insights for overcoming challenges and accelerating solutions for SDG11.

| WHAT IS SDG MEETUP?
The Sustainable Development Goals Meetup is a monthly meetup powered by SDG House residents Impact Hub Amsterdam and C-Change.

The SDG Meetup series provides a continuous engagement opportunity to accelerate solutions per SDG and develop shared knowledge and resources. It is also an accessible collaboration platform for established organisations, impact entrepreneurs, SMEs, institutions and independent professionals who want to learn about and work on the SDGs in an entrepreneurial way.

Each edition focuses on one SDG (i.e. gender equality, climate change). It is an interactive evening event meant to generate new ideas, connections, collaboration and action. At each edition we invite knowledge partners, entrepreneurs, innovators and expert facilitators to co-create an inspiring environment for us.

| WHERE?
The meetups takes place at Impact Hub Amsterdam located in the SDG House (KIT Royal Tropical Institute) in Amsterdam Oost. SDG House, as a community, houses over 1000+ professionals and 50+ organisations working on or with the SDGs.
