The Ecocity World Summit 2022

March 1, 2022 by Christine Pinkham Leave a Comment

The Ecocity World Summit 2022 took place February 22 – 24, 2022. It is the longest running event on ecocities in the world, and provides the tools to rebuild and bring balance to urban ecosystems. The Summit hosted about 500 attendees from 65 different countries.

The Summit takes place every two years in a different city. BCIT hosted the last Ecocity World Summit in Vancouver, BC, in 2019, from which the Centre for Ecocities was created as a legacy initiative. The event went fully online after a pandemic related postponement from its original 2021 dates.
