Resilience Finance for Local Governments
5 5 people viewed this event.
Local governments are increasingly aware of their communities’ resilience needs. They know which roads flood, which neighborhoods experience extreme heat, and which critical assets are most at risk during weather events.
The challenge is no longer identifying the need. It is finding a credible path to funding.
How do you move a resilience project from a priority on paper to one that attracts public funding, private capital, insurance incentives, or other investment?
Join ICLEI USA and Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability for a 90-minute webinar introducing the Resilience Finance Guidebook for Local Governments, a new resource designed to help local governments move resilience projects from planning to implementation.
Hear from the guidebook’s authors and local government leaders who have successfully financed resilience investments. Featured case studies, including Hoboken and other pioneering jurisdictions, will explore what worked, what did not, and the lessons learned. Whether you are a resilience officer, finance director, public works leader, planner, sustainability professional, or elected official, you will leave with practical tools you can apply right away.
