January IUC webinar to focus on innovative financing mechansisms to fund sustainable urban development

 

The eighth International Urban Cooperation programme webinar will be held on 23 January 2020 from 09:30 – 11:00 CET, focusing on innovative financing mechanisms to fund sustainable urban development.

While traditional forms of municipal finance retain their importance, the role of new financial instruments and the engagement of the private sector are becoming increasingly vital.  Experience shows that even when creditworthiness is not an issue, most local and regional governments are either not aware of, or are afraid of using unconventional financing tools.

This third webinar of the IUC financial series aims to give an overview on innovative financing mechanisms, inviting city speakers to share their experiences.

The webinar is open to all interested persons; participants will gain a good overview of the range of innovative and non-traditional financing mechanisms that local governments can pursue as they implement sustainable urban development projects at the local level.
