Dear colleagues,
As part of the V-NAMA webinar discussion series “Involving sub-national and city governments in national climate change mitigation strategies” we cordially invite you to the 2nd webinar addressing financing options for sub-national climate action. The webinar will focus on financing challenges, solutions and the potential role of vertically integrated Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (V-NAMAs).
Target audience
We invite NAMA developers, representatives from all levels of government, financing institutions, and agencies interested in learning about and/or sharing relevant NAMA developments. Discussion results will be fed into a publication with recommendations and lessons learnt how to involve subnational stakeholders. We’ll also provide recordings of the webinars to watch at any time after the sessions ended.
