The scoping study Using Credit Lines to Foster Green Lending: Opportunities and Challenges aims at identifying the opportunities and the challenges related to the deployment of credit lines to support the low-carbon climate-resilient transition in developing countries.
The working paper Budgeting for NDC Action – Initial Lessons from Climate-Vulnerable Countries addresses the following question: are climate change-related expenditures starting to appear in national budgets to secure the early implementation of countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)?
This working paper Working Across Scales: Learning from Seven Years of Climate Compatible Development in Asia assesses the value of stimulating climate compatible development initiatives at multiple levels of governance, from the local to the national, as well as the global.
The CARISMA Project started in February 2015 and intends, through effective stakeholder consultation and communication, to ensure a continuous coordination and assessment of climate change mitigation options and to benefit research and innovation efficiency, as well as international cooperation on research and innovation and technology transfer.
Cities are responsible for up to 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, therefore climate change needs to be resolved in cities. There is an important window of opportunity to help cities, especially in rapidly urbanising developing countries, to better manage their future growth and development.
This working paper identifies five levers of effective climate action in cities that climate change practitioners should be aware of, and where appropriate, build into their project approach to support more effective climate action in cities. The five levers are:
- Power and leadership
- Communications and engagement
- Capacity building
- Financing implementation
- Demonstration effect
