Social cohesiveness and inclusive cities

The project will pay a special attention to the question of informal settlements, rural migrants and marginalisation

Prosperity and Innovation in cities

Addressed trough innovation incorporing local culture and design, supported with the identification of sustainable financing mechanisms.

Resilience and actions for the environment

Climate Action Plan (CAP) Development Trainings - Phase 2

Training

05/01/2022 9:00 am - 15/06/2022

Purpose of the Training

Climate Action Plan (CAP) Urgency

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. The urgency to act and respond to the climate emergency and the consequences of inaction are clear. The Oxford Dictionary defines urgency as a situation or circumstance that requires immediate action and attention. The CAP outlines the basic principles for implementing a long-term urban climate action strategy; thereby, providing important guidance for all development actors.

The CAP is the basis and a guide for identifying and outlining climate action strategies and instruments in various areas of action. CAP is designed through an iterative process by constantly incorporating new insights and developments, periodic reviews, continuous learning, and improvement. CAP needs to be aligned and integrated into development plans that clearly outline targets and priority sectors.

Triangular Cooperation

Carte indo The CRIC project is a 5 year project co-funded by the European Union. It proposes a long lasting and unique cooperation through a triangular cooperation between cities and research centres in Europe, South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh), and Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand). The Project will also contribute to sustainable integrated urban development, good governance, and climate adaptation/mitigation through long lasting partnerships, and tools such as sustainable local action plans, early warning tools, air quality and waste management in consultation with experts’ panels.

The target groups of the Project will be local governments, cities, urban stakeholders working on climate resilience, climate mitigation and adaptation, and good governance of inclusive cities. With final beneficiaries including but not limited to local community of the cities/provinces, including women, marginalised sector, civil society, and private sectors.
