The World Urban Forum (WUF) was established in 2001 by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanisation and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies. Representatives of national, regional and local governments, academics, business and community leaders, urban planners and civil society will be among the thousands of people expected to attend WUF11. The UN conference in 2022 is co-organized by Poland?s Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy, as well as the Municipal Office of Katowice.

The WUF11 theme Transformation of cities for a Better Urban Future is supported by six Dialogues, each of which explores a different dimension of transformation. Dialogues focus amongst other on building urban resilience, innovative urban solutions, and greener urban futures, and provide a platform for leaders and experts to exchange and jointly develop the global urban agenda in the light of the international climate and development goals.

Cities will play a major role in delivering the European Green Deal. The EIB, as the EU bank, directly links to Green Deal priorities by supporting a circular economy, biodiversity, sustainable mobility, zero pollution and just transition. EIB offers a range of financial instruments to promote sustainable development in cities, including multi-sector urban framework loans and advisory instruments, such as Urban Investment Support (URBIS), a dedicated platform within the European Investment Advisory Hub. An example for EIB?s activities outside the EU is the FELICITY ? Cities Advisory Facility, a joint initiative with the German government providing advice to cities in Brazil, Indonesia, Ecuador and Mexico.  The City Climate Finance Gap Fund, is another example of successful collaboration between the EIB and GIZ.

Description of the session

The overall objective of the exchange is to identify common grounds to support strategic efforts to link international financing and local infrastructure demand, thus increasing the scale of climate action and emissions reduction potential of cities. It features the example of two European Initiatives that are active globally:  FELICITY and EUROCLIMA+.
