US$ 57 trillion is needed for infrastructure development between 2013 - 2030 just to keep up with growth of global GPD, and much of this will be needed by developing economies.
As a practitioner advocating for inclusive Urban Climate Change Resilience, are you curious about the state of financing for urban resilience? Do you want to know how different funds, like the Green Climate Fund, are organised and how they can be accessed?
The ACCCRN network is delighted to host a webinar by Cristina Rumbaitis Del Rio, Senior Associate Director of the Rockefeller Foundation, whowill review the various sources of multilateral and bilateral funding for urban climate resilience, their operating modalities, and some of the financing challenges facing this field.
The seminar will be held on Monday, July 27th at 5:30 pm Bangkok/Jakarta time, 4.00 pm New Delhi time, 6:30 am New York time. We will be using the "Blue Jeans" platform for this event. To join the meeting please choose from the following links:

We will allocate 90 minutes, with about 30 minutes for Cristina's presentation and an hour for Q&A. Several questions have already been suggested. These include how cities can access climate finance; bridging the gap between infrastructure and development needs; assess trends in UCCR funding; get finance directly to cities; opportunities to build resilience thinking into existing funding mechanisms; how NGOs can preposition themselves to access funds; which donors have urban portfolios; how city practitioners can access grants and other finance.
We will address as many of these as possible but time is of course limited. We therefore ask that anyone interested in further discussion use the Q&A section of ACCCRN.NET at http://acccrn.net/q-and-a to provide a platform for discussion and information sharing before and for long after the webinar. We will make the PowerPoint presentation available shortly before the webinar. We look forward to welcoming you to the webinar and a sharing of information about the state of financing for urban climate resilience.
