International financial sources and institutions relevant to city action
Webinario
Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible:
Temas:
Crecimiento económico inclusivo y sostenible
The scale of the action necessary to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to tackle climate change requires local action. Adequate financing is vital to ensure the feasibility of local sustainability projects, yet at present there is a significant gap between the level of funds available for sustainable urban development and the level of funds deployed. This webinar, the first of three on the topic of financing, shared an overview of the information needed to successfully access financing for sustainable urban development activities. Through presentations by experts, the webinar helped to cut through the complexity of international finance to provide participants with practical information on the requirements to access funding, as well as the best financing schemes available.

Integrating nature-based flood management into urban planning
Webinario
Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible:
Temas:
Adaptación climática
Agua, gestión de residuos y saneamiento
Water is and has been crucial in designing urban spaces and informing urban planning. Approaches towards flood management have changed over time, with the previous focus being on keeping water out of the city, and the more recent approach turning towards natural water management and integrated strategies for dealing with flood risks and promoting urban resilience. Crucial to this process of adapting to floods is the knowledge transfer and cross-cultural exchange of best practices in integrated water management amongst cities. It is with this purpose of encouraging inter-city learning that the IUC programme presents the practical experience of three cities in dealing with different kinds of flood risk through nature-based solutions and other innovative measures.

Choosing locally-appropriate solutions for wastewater management
Webinario
Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible:
Temas:
Agua, gestión de residuos y saneamiento
Managing wastewater is becoming increasingly challenging with urban populations growing at an unprecedented rate and infrastructure development often not keeping up. This requires government authorities and public utilities to become more creative and innovative in their approach to wastewater management and in developing solutions that are locally fit for purpose, ecologically sound and that meet the needs of the residents as well as those of the relevant technical and political stakeholders. Innovation in this sector requires a mind shift away from viewing wastewater as ‘waste’ and rather seeing and treating it as a valuable resource. To demonstrate this, the webinar presents two municipal examples from Aarhus (Denmark) and Nagpur (India), as well as an inspiring example from Japan.

Desarrollo urbano seguro e inclusivo
Ciudades inteligentes e innovación y competitividad regional/urbana
Esta tercera publicación de la serie sobre financiación del Programa Internacional de Cooperación Urbana (IUC) tiene por objeto proporcionar una visión general sobre mecanismos innovadores de financiación. Aunque las formas tradicionales de financiación municipal no dejan de ser importantes, los nuevos instrumentos financieros y la implicación del sector privado se han convertido en elementos esenciales. A pesar de ello, la experiencia demuestra que, incluso no existiendo un problema de solvencia crediticia, la mayoría de los gobiernos locales y regionales desconocen la existencia o bien no se atreven a emplear herramientas de financiación poco convencionales. El propósito de este manual es recopilar los sistemas de financiación innovadora más habituales, aplicados también en economías emergentes e ilustrados con estudios de caso.
