This report is the Urban Land Institute (ULI)'s first-ever outlook on issues that are specific to environmental, social, and governance (ESG)—a broad and critically important topic that affects every aspect of our businesses, our industry, and communities.
The report communicates how climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution can be tackled jointly within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. It serves to translate the current state of scientific knowledge into crisp, clear, and digestible facts-based messages that the world can relate to and follow up on.
The report presents three routes to guide government responses towards a transformative economic reactivation, including sustainable development, decarbonisation, and governance. Additionally, it presents 57 public policy recommendations for eight sectors, spanning both rural and urban contexts, in order to pave the way towards a transformative reactivation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
This brief examines the COVID-19 recovery assistance for cities from key funders - national governments, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and the private sector and introduces the key trends that have been found.
