True climate resilience requires a radical redistribution of power, not just participation. This session demonstrates how community-led data generated by Slum Dwellers and marginalised communities is a foundational tool for redesigning systems of finance, governance, and planning to be truly equitable. This session moves beyond theory to present proven, scalable examples of how to transfer decision-making power, embed informal knowledge into formal strategies, and value non-financial capital, ultimately building lasting agency and more resilient cities.
