Normal 0 false false false EN-US ZH-CN X-NONE

The objective of the project is to develop strategies, instruments, capacity and measurements for resilient and green urban development and for mobilising international and domestic financial resources to financing resilient and sustainable urban development. More specifically:

(1)               Develop instruments and measurements for resilient and green urban development, and its financing and forthe development of the resilient financial system;

(2)               Identify cities and investigate the financing needs for resilient urban development including housing and basic infrastructure (access to clean drinking water, sanitation, electricity and health services) of lower and lower-middle income groups. Based on these estimates assess the magnitude of investment needed towards a low-carbon and climate resilient development;

 

Review financial instruments and their features for resilient urban development including housing and corresponding infrastructure, particularly in developing countries;

(3)               Assess the impacts of financial instruments on a financial system level, particularly on the sustainability and resilience of the financial system; 

(4)               Describe new financial instruments and sources of funding and examine greater private sector participation in the financing and delivery of green and climate resilient housing and corresponding infrastructure projects. The project will translate the investment needs into measures that could be implemented in collaboration with other financial institutions and agencies to advance the financing business horizons and to tap into future opportunities and leverage global influence. Special focus of the project will be given to financing instruments for resilient urban development including housing and basic infrastructure benefiting lower and lower-middle income population and enabling low-carbon and climate resilient development;
