This Peer Exchange Session of the Global Platform for Sustainable Cities (GPSC) brings together city representatives and financial experts to share experience on how to access climate finance. What works? What is needed? How can we ease the process?
The session provides a platform where local governments can interact with financial experts, helping each other to better understand the challenges they face, and how to design transformative and investor-friendly projects, that are part of a coherent climate action plan which meets the requirements of financial institutions. This interactive session offers a unique opportunity to showcase achievements, inspire each other, exchange ideas, and find solutions together. Further information downloadable here
The session is part of a one-day finance forum held at the 10th Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation - Resilient Cities 2019.
