This side event presents a regional assessment framework methodology, “Standardized Approach for Analysis of Enabling Framework Conditions Related to Cities’ Ability to Access Climate Finance” for supporting cities’ access to climate finance in the countries of the Asia Pacific region. This methodology is formulated by CCFLA and ESCAP as part of the Urban-Act project. The ambition is for countries throughout Asia and beyond to leverage the tools and frameworks to support a more conducive environment for cities to finance low-carbon and climate-resilient development.
