Climate finance and sustainable urban mobility in Latin America
hace 9 year
Actions aimed at improving the sustainability of urban transport in Latin America through modal shift, deployment of emerging technologies and other lines of action are of vital importance to combat climate change and entail several co-benefits including health and pollution.
In order to improve sustainability and realize climate action in urban transport management, significant investments are required. Public sector climate finance presents an important catalyst for leveraging private sector investments. A better integration of climate change focus in urban mobility projects is needed to facilitate access to available funds. EUROCLIMA is supporting Latin American countries to formulate climate finance proposals. Examples and experiences will be shared to improve access to climate finance for sustainable urban mobility in Latin America.
