UNITAC is hiring an Associate Programme Manager Officer to support the implementation of the project “Just transitions in vulnerable places - Towards climate resilient neighborhoods and communities in Ukraine”.

The project will support the recovery efforts of cities affected by the conflict, providing local governments with technology-supported assessments of post-conflict environmental and socio-economic risks as well as housing, land and property assessments that outline pull and push factors, and the preparation of a well-coordinated and durable return. 

UNITAC Hamburg has officially launched “Just transitions in vulnerable places – digital solutions for more climate resilient informal areas and climate smart urban recovery of communities affected by crisis”.

In the framework of Urban October 2022, UNITAC Hamburg hosted "Building Smart Tools for Sustainable Cities", a webinar to learn about the successes and challenges in the process of developing digital tools to support cities in their digital transformation journeys.

A new UNITAC project aims to create a "Smart City Strategy Toolbox" to support governments develop in an easy way smart city strategies with a people-centred approach.
