The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners have unveiled the Global Initiative for Resource-Efficient Cities, a new initiative that aims to develop resource efficiency measures in order to achieve sustainable urban development around the world, and released two related reports. Sustainable, resource efficient cities: Making it happen outlines practical steps that cities can take towards resource efficiency including, inter alia: the integration of livability and social equality measures into new urban developments; governance approaches that engage local communities and civil society groups; smart urban design; financial incentives and subsidies for green technologies; technology transfer; and innovation. A second report, Cities and carbon finance: Feasibility study on an urban CDM , examines how cities can better access climate finance through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
