Since 2020, the OECD and the European Commission (DG REGIO) have been engaged in a joint project to improve the understanding of the financial role of regions and cities in the carbon-neutral transition by enhancing the tracking, measurement, and mobilisation of subnational public climate finance. The Financing Climate Action in Regions and Cities conference, taking place on 22 June 2022, will present the outputs of this project and the newly created Subnational Government Climate Finance Hub. It will also convene numerous stakeholders, international organisations, national and subnational governments, and academics to answer key lingering questions about the financial role of subnational governments in the carbon-neutral transition:  

This hybrid event will address these themes in five sessions led by keynote speakers from the OECD, the European Commission, national and subnational governments, and climate finance experts and practitioners from other institutions.
