#DaringCities 2024 Bonn Dialogues: The Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) presents a more ambitious and durable way to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. The pledge asks nations to commit to consulting their local and regional governments to build their national climate goals, and to resource them to implement ambitious climate projects. Hundreds of cities across New Zealand and Australia have declared a climate emergency signaling a clarion call to ramp up climate action through ambitious decarbonization and strengthened resilience efforts at a local scale. The Pacific Islands deal with sea level rise three times the global mean, leaving coastal cities and territories to face both short and long term threats. Multi-level governance and international cooperation will be critical to facilitate technical and institutional capacity building, while local measures are essential to strengthen resilience actions. That's why we need more local governments in Oceania to step forward and lead the charge to encourage their nations to join the #CHAMP pledge. The #COP28 and #COP29 High Level Champions have outlined three ways in which countries can deliver on their CHAMP commitments, find out more: https://lnkd.in/eVx4qP5C  ICLEI Bundesstadt Bonn High-Level Climate Champions Razan Al Mubarak Nigar Arpadarai

Public Private Philanthropy Partnership PPPPs are our best hope for rapid climate action. By combining government policy, corporate scale, and philanthropic risk-taking, we can catalyze transformative change. This synergy of sectors enables us to pool resources, knowledge, and innovation capacity. As the climate crisis intensifies, these partnerships are crucial for scaling sustainable solutions globally. Only through such collaborative efforts can we hope to build a resilient, low-carbon future in time.

Experts in #UrbanDevelopment and climate finance have highlighted the need for better, more comprehensive monitoring and evaluation tools for #ClimateFinance accountability at the Second Roundtable Discussion for Urban Climate Finance, held October 10, 2024 in Quezon City. The discussion, held as part of a series under the Urban Climate Action for Low-Carbon and Resilient Cities (Urban-Act) Project, gathered stakeholders from national and local governments, civil society, private sector, the academe, and other development partners to discuss ways forward for sustainable urban development in the Philippines. #UrbanAct in the Philippines is a joint project led by ICSC and Clean Air Asia, with GIZ Philippines and Pacific Island Countries and the Department of the Interior and Local Government.

Fixing funding bottlenecks for Locally Led Adaptation 🌱 A new survey conducted by IIED, BRAC, and ICCCAD explores the operational hurdles preventing local organisations from accessing #climateadaptation funds. These findings highlight why it’s crucial to pave the way for #locallyledadaptation initiatives. 🌍 The survey reveals the top five key barriers that are by local actors: Eligibility criteria 📋 – 81% of respondents ranked rigid rules based on geography and applicant profiles as the top challenge. Indeed, informal sectors such as smallholder farmers often struggle to access financing due to the submission requirements. Lengthy application processes 📄 – For 75% of respondents, complicated multi-stage applications consumed valuable resources and were diverting the focus from on-the-ground activities. Due diligence requirements 📊 – Low risk tolerance and demands for strict financial statements create obstacles for local organisations, with 58% of respondents finding these rules restrictive. Inflexible #finance rules 💼 – 56% felt that limitations on overheads and rigid budgeting rules blocked local actors from addressing evolving needs. Success indicators 📊 – 53% called for a rethink of success metrics, which currently align more with donor expectations than local realities. What can #funders do? 🔑 The report offers practical next steps such as simplifying applications, broadening eligibility criteria, and rethinking due diligence to create a more inclusive system. Promisingly, reforms are already underway. The LDC LIFE-AR initiative, backed by the governments of the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, and Norway, is pioneering LLA approaches. 🌟 💬 Let’s continue the conversation on how we can work together to remove these barriers and support transformative climate action at the local level! Read the full insights and recommendations here: https://lnkd.in/dHw92qzz PlanAdapt is committed to empowering communities in developing climate solutions that are inclusive, context-specific, and sustainable. Through its Co-Adaptation Lab, PlanAdapt tackles the very challenges outlined in this article by supporting locally led adaptation and fostering approaches that ensure solutions are driven from the ground up.
