Palermo is a diverse and dynamic Mediterranean city where environmental challenges intersect with social, economic and urban realities. Understanding how different communities experience these challenges is an important part of designing adaptation responses that reflect the needs and potential of the city.

Following the first “Coffee for the Planet” meeting, the second Palermo session invites participants to look at their city from new perspectives.

Through “Shifting Perspectives: Exploring the Territory Through New Lenses,” local associations, organisations and citizens will share their observations, experiences and knowledge to better understand Palermo’s context. The discussion will help bring to light local needs, vulnerabilities, challenges, resources and opportunities, while encouraging participants to question how the city can evolve towards greater resilience.

The insights gathered during this stage will provide a foundation for the next steps of the journey, moving from understanding the territory towards developing ideas and solutions and building a shared vision for Palermo. Together, these contributions will support the creation of a Green Local Adaptation Plan (LAP) for the city.
