Financing Local Transition
Relevant actions to transition a city into a sustainable and low carbon territory require important changes when it comes to defining the city’s budget. This session shows which mechanisms can help cities take the path of rethinking how they allocate their budget. How to include environmental and social criteria in the decision-making process, how to include the participation of its citizens through a participatory budgeting or where to find additional financial resources if needed to start transitioning.
With Maxfield Weiss (Europe Managing Director, CDP), Adalberto Barreto (Representative of Participation Division, City of Lisbon), Arnaud Leroy (Président du conseil d’administration, ADEME), Gérard Blanchard (Vice President in Charge of Carbon Neutrality, City of La Rochelle), Thierry Déau (Founder and CEO at MERIDIAM), Magnus Berntsson (President, Assembly of European Regions), Cora Smelik (Regional Minister for Sustainable Development , Province of Flevoland).
Moderated by Emilie Maehara (FMDV, Deputy Director).
