The decarbonisation debate: exploring climate action for equitable cities This online event organized by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) on 24 June will explore opportunities for climate change mitigation policies and practices to respond to poverty and support social justice in cities and the agendas of urban social movements.Drawing on examples shared in the new issue of the Environment and Urbanization journal, we will debate the role of decarbonisation in the efforts to achieve urban social justice and climate-resilient development. What makes low-income and informal communities legitimate sites for decarbonisation? How can low-carbon infrastructural initiatives align with adaptation priorities? And how would decarbonisation efforts accelerate social justice in low- and middle-income cities? Register: https://lnkd.in/ecedWbhv #ClimateAction4Cities

https://lnkd.in/eM5RicEM Fantastic initiative from Bloomberg Philanthropies to help introduce more climate solutions into American cities. The combination of government funding (e.g. Inflation Reduction Act) and donor funds resembles a blended finance approach that could attract additional private capital to investments into urban sustainability. Our four-part "Sustainable Cities" research series, published in 2023, addresses the role of transportation, real estate, energy, and waste in delivering sustainable outcomes for the urban environment. SDG 11 "sustainable cities and communities" continues to be one of the most popular investment themes within the ESG-labelled bond market. https://lnkd.in/g2T_vexE

In a recent study, our researchers stress the necessity of integrating #climate resilience into value-chain interventions. This can be achieved through designing tailored strategies that consider the unique ecological and socioeconomic contexts of arid and semi-arid regions. Effective adaptation requires active collaboration among government agencies, non-governmental organizations, private sector entities, and local communities. Read more: https://buff.ly/3Y64HwM
