Financing Climate Objectives in Cities and Regions to Deliver Sustainable and Inclusive Growth | |
September 2019 |

This study is the first of its kind to explicitly develop a methodology for tracking and measuring climate and environment-related expenditure and investment in cities and regions across the OECD. The results revealed that regions and cities play an important role in financing climate action but more assistance from national governments is needed to mobilise additional public and private sources of funding. The study also highlighted a need for improved data collection and statistical systems to track the alignment of public financial flows with climate objectives, including at the subnational level, as called for in the Paris Agreement. |
