CapaCITIES Webinar: Funding and financing for climate neutral cities: How can the national level support cities?

How are cities planning to finance their 2030 climate neutrality objective? What are the traditional sources of funding and what are the innovative financing approaches and tools? Finally, what can the national level do to better support local governments in financing climate neutrality? These and many more questions will be addressed at the CapaCITIES webinar, during which we will explain the basics of climate investment planning at the local level as well as present good practices of the national level support for climate neutral cities from Sweden and Finland.

The webinar is dedicated to facilitators of the national support structures for climate neutral cities and all relevant stakeholders from their national ecosystems, especially the ones directly providing funding and financing to cities.
