Accelerating Urban Climate Action: Policy Frameworks, Investment and Partnerships

About this event

Jointly organised by the State Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development at COP31, the panel will explore how policy frameworks, investment and partnerships can accelerate urban climate action. It will examine approaches to aligning national urban policies with climate objectives, mobilising public and private finance for sustainable infrastructure, and strengthening cooperation among governments, cities, development finance institutions and international organisations. Drawing on international experience, the discussion will identify practical solutions for translating climate commitments into investment-ready projects and advancing resilient, low-carbon and inclusive urban development.
