Net zero carbon buildings in cities: getting the policy right

12:00 – 13:00 (EET)

The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA), with the support of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development, has kick-started a major effort in 2022 to highlight the importance of financing net zero carbon buildings at the city level. This event will convene city stakeholders to discuss city-level policies and financing modalities that can facilitate public and private investment in low-carbon buildings. The objective of this event is to: – Present the initial findings of CCFLA’s zero carbon building instruments city guide and reflect on the main barriers to investment and financial and non-financial/policy solutions. – Convene a high-level panel of experts to discuss possible solutions that will improve national policies that, in turn, will attract investment. – Increase awareness of the need to address policy gaps to scale investments in net zero carbon buildings.
