Accelerating Risk-Informed Investments in Climate-Resilient Urban Infrastructure: a dialogue between engineers, business and urban policymakers

12 September, 2024 @ 11:15 am – 12:15 pm BST

There is an urgent need to unlock funding for equitable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure across the globe and to prioritise infrastructure that delivers positive outcomes for people and the planet.
This interactive session will be guided by key recommendations from the policy brief ‘Accelerating Risk-Informed Investments in Climate-Resilient Urban Infrastructure: A Framework-based Approach’ recently included in the T20 Brazil.

This session will highlight current challenges for financing local climate action initiatives, showcase real-world examples of successful approaches to climate finance in municipalities around the world, and emphasise the need for collaboration between engineers and policymakers to scale up solutions.
