A high share of Global GHG emissions are attributable to urban areas. Furthermore, the future effect of carbon “lock-in” increases the urgency for immediate action at the urban level. Carbon markets have the potential to reduce city emissions and increase financing for infrastructure and need to be tapped in order to accelerate urban emission reduction. The Urban Crediting Methodology presents a new approach and guidelines for designing city-level crediting programs, measured through GHG inventory. Built on the Urban Crediting Methodology report, this webinar will showcase

(1) conversation around market-based instruments under the forthcoming rules of the Paris Agreement,

(2) encourage cities to produce robust city-wide emission inventories that can inform long-term planning, and

(3) identify new mechanisms to fill the financing gap faced by cities across the globe face as they seek to implement low-carbon actions.
