Call for Expression of Interest: Dialogue Event Climate Finance for Asian Cities
This event will make use of new digital / agile collaboration and exchange formats (based e.g. on the well-established connective cities dialogue event methodology). The idea is to bring different representatives from several cities in the region (selected municipal / finance experts from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines and Indonesia) together with GIZ, Connective Cities and other collaborators and project colleagues to discuss and exchange about municipal / climate financing topics, with innovative formats such as peer-to-peer advice and ideation for project development.
The main objective of the dialogue event is to facilitate the exchange of experiences and mutual learning based on concrete project ideas and good practice examples of municipal actors with different local conditions. The focus is mainly on pragmatic solutions and approaches that can be applied or adapted to different regional contexts. The dialogue event will also provide a space for in-depth discussion of current challenges around the topic of climate financing and will support the joint development of innovative projects / solutions for sustainable urban development.
