| Summary: | In the coming decades, climate change
will force cities to grapple with new operating conditions
to construct and maintain key urban infrastructure.
Strategies for covering the costs of climate-resilient
upgrades will vary by locale, reflecting differing market,
regulatory, and policy circumstances. This policy brief
draws on World Bank experience and datasets and a review of
academic and grey literature on financing three core urban
infrastructure systems – water, transport, and energy. It
seeks to answer the question of what funding and financing
instruments may be available to local governments and
infrastructure system operators in different cities around
the world, and how these link back to the climate challenges
they may face. This brief was developed as part of the
Financing Climate Futures initiative, a joint effort of
OECD, UN Environment, and the World Bank Group. |
