As Mission Cities work toward their climate neutrality goals through the implementation of their Climate City Contracts, climate budgeting is becoming an increasingly important governance tool. It enables cities to integrate climate considerations into decision-making across all departments while aligning with available financial resources. Many cities have already adopted the governance model of climate budgeting, by putting climate at the top of the political agenda, ensuring that all the relevant emitting city sectors, contribute to delivering on targets.
Since climate budgeting can be adapted to any local city context or scale, this webinar, hosted by NetZeroCities, C40 Cities and Climate-4-CAST:
• Shortly presents a clear framework of what is meant by “climate budgeting”
• Shares practical examples from cities that have already adopted climate budgeting within their municipalities, including the lessons learned for a successful approach.
• Enables dedicated discussions in different climate budgeting approaches, with likeminded cities.
Featuring practical examples from Oslo, Uppsala, Tampere and Paris.
- The C40 Step-by-step guide to climate budgeting provides practical guidance focusing on the governance aspects on how a city can introduce, develop and implement climate budgeting, including measures on mitigation and adaptation as well as equity considerations.
- The step-by-step guide is complemented by the more technical C40 Handbook on GHG emissions quantification for climate budgeting which provides guidance on how cities can quantify GHG emissions to inform their climate budgeting analysis.
- The C40 Climate Budgeting Framework outlines principles and criteria to guide cities in developing, implementing, and adopting a credible and robust climate budgeting process in line with C40’s 2030 Leadership Standards.
- The climate budgeting online courses for government leaders and practitioners are self-paced and interactive with a combination of theoretical and practical approaches that supports cities in building capacity to embed climate budgeting into their existing governance systems.
- The Climate Budget training for local authorities, offered by the Climate-4-CAST project.
- Climate 4-Cast project webpage and CADS tool.
