1 Sustainable Cities Impact Program Overview of the Strategic Direction for GEF-7 May 2018
2 Why Sustainable Cities? Population growth and expanding middle class Cities facing increased demand for building, mobility, energy, water and waste management Major driver of environmental degradation GHG emissions, degradation or loss of ecosystem services (land, water and biodiversity), waste and pollution Challenges facing cities are interlinked and cannot be tackled separately Cities need a holistic approach to urban planning and financing The urban infrastructure and social environment need to be integrated for a city to be inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. For the GEF alignment of focal area priorities to harness synergies and minimize negative tradeoffs in generating Global Environmental Benefits (GEBs)
3 GEF Integrated Approach Launched as a Pilot in GEF Move from isolated, individual city investments to coordinated sustainable urban planning 2. Set up a platform for the best technical knowledge, common methodologies, innovation and quick exchange on sustainable urban investments 3. Connect GEF implementing agencies working on urban space, and through the platform all IFIs
4 Sustainable Cities Program Integrate global environmental considerations and resilience into city management urban planning, design, and action (investment) Multi-scale partnerships impact Global Platform, National level frameworks, Cities / Municipalities Promoting cross-sector engagement
5 Program Framework City-level Projects (28 cities, 11 countries)
6 Planning for integrated urban sustainability Example - Recife, Brazil
7 GEF-7 Strategy Building on the GEF-6 Sustainable Cities IAP Sustainable urban planning Departure from single sector investment Supporting mayors efforts in urban planning Framework for advancing Urban Sustainability Global platform for knowledge exchange Investment program in 28 cities across 11 developing countries
8 GEF-7 Strategy Categories for Investment Evidence-based Spatial Planning National, Regional, Local Decarbonizing Urbanization with Infrastructure Integration at National, Regional, and Local Scales Building Deep Resilience with smart systems and slum solutions, and Cascade Financing Solutions for Urban Sustainability
9 Additional Priorities for Programming 32 cities in the world s biological hotspots Integrated land use planning to mainstream BD and prevent habitat loss/degradation in peri-urban areas (BD and LD Focal Areas) Tackling Marine plastics through smart solid waste management (IW Focal Area) Integrated land use planning to prevent agricultural land loss; logistics/transport system for food distribution (Urban Food system) Urban design that is able to absorb potential shocks (Urban Resilience)
10 Addressing Multiple Focal Area Priorities in the Urban Space Conservation of Biodiversity Mitigating GHG Emissions Arresting Land Degradation Reduce Pollution and Waste Reduce POPs, ODS and Mercury
11 Criteria for Countries Willingness of national governments to support local governments in developing, shaping and participating in the program Willingness to embrace integrated urban planning and go beyond sectoral focuses. Commitment to mobilize finance by utilizing the GEF grant to achieve a large leverage ratio. Commitment to improve sustainability of municipal financing over time and demonstrate credible financing plans for proposed activities and concrete catalytic investment opportunities. Willingness to actively engage with GPSC through a network-based approach.
12 Africa Region Urbanization challenges: 1. Population density not matched with capital density 2. Disconnected land and spatial fragmentation Targets for GEF Programming
