Supporting Low Carbon Plans
for Urban Basic Services in the context of the New Urban Agenda |
urban pathways
The Urban Pathways project makes a direct contribution to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The project:
The project:
- develops national action plans and concrete local implementation concepts to boost low-carbon urban development in key emerging economies - India, Brazil, Kenya and Viet Nam
- make an active contribution to achieve global climate change targets to a 1.5 Degree stabilisation pathway by unlocking the global emission reduction potential of urban energy, transport and resource sectors of 3.7Gt CO2 emissions by 2030
- has established a facility in close cooperation with other organisations and networks active in this area to support national and local governments
- political, technological, socio-economic and financial viability
- is being developed into bankable projects, focusing on the access to urban basic services to create a direct link between climate change mitigation and sustainable development goals
- replicated regionally with policy development and implementation support and advice on stakeholder engagement and financing mechanisms
Project partners
Un-habitatUN-Habitat is the United Nations programme working towards a better urban future. The Urban Basic Services Branch of UN-Habitat will work with international partners and highly motivated cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America on the implementation of the New Urban Agenda focusing on urban energy, mobility and resources systems. This will build directly on a broad range of activities by UN-Habitat in the respective sectors and on the dedication to sector integration. |
WUPPERTAL INSTITUTEThe Wuppertal Institute will support the project by developing implementation-ready concepts for sustainable urban development, bringing together local demand, technical expertise and policy advice with financing institutions. In close cooperation with a network international project partners, the institute will work on closing the implementation gap between applied research and policy action to foster sustainable urban development in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. |
UN EnvironmentUN Environment will provide technical advice on the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement. It´s mission is to identify emission reduction opportunities, timely and quantified progress towards emission reduction strategies and additional mitigation actions. UNEP will assist by facilitating dialogue with the ministerial level and assessing the implementation readiness of the pilot project concepts as well as helping to identify suitable funding agencies for the scaled-up implementation phase. |
