68.7% Of the worlds population will live in urban areas by 2050 (in 2010, this figure was 50.5%) 25% of global GDP comes from the top 100 cities 13% Of the worlds population live in at-risk coastal areas (which make up 2% of the worlds land area) 75% Of people who live in at-risk coastal areas (010 m above sea level) are in Asia 80% expected $80 billion to $100 billion per year in climate change adaptation costs will likely be borne by urban areas

District Cooling could greatly increase the energy eciency of very densely populated ciFes such as New York City, replacing the need for air condiFoning and hence greatly reducing electricity consumpFon.

A Smart City incenFvizes and supports: Non-motorized transport through prioriFzaFon of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure development Transit-oriented development of residenFal and commercial areas Use and eciency of public transport (e.g. Bus Rapid Transit) Aordable transport soluFons for everyone But puts in place disincenFves for: Individual car use through measures such as congesFon charging, limited parking, and vehicle taxes Urban sprawl through proper zoning

Dedicated lanes and bus stops with easy access Local, Express and Feeder Services Tickets integrated across whole system and aordable for general public Reliable user informaFon system Clean buses with low emissions, e.g. using CNG Integrated into zoning to enable transit- oriented hubs

Historically, the landfill has received 3 million metric tons of waste per year, releasing large volumes of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas. In June, the landfill was closed, with daily trash now transported to the most advanced treatment plant in Latin America to curb production of greenhouse gases and pollution of nearby marshes. Further, about 75 million cubic meters of methane gas will be collected over the next 15 years from the remaining waste. The Brazilian petroleum company Petrobras plans to purchase the landfill's methane gas for use in its refineries. A portion of the revenue stream from the methane sales will help rehabilitate the impoverished favelas that have sprung up around the landfill - generating social and environmental benefits.

Impact
The resilience and capacity of a growing number of developing country/Asian cities in relation to current and future climate risks is enhanced, and through this work the lives of poor and vulnerable men and women are improved.

Outcomes
1. Capacity of Cities to plan, finance, coordinate and implement climate change resilience strategies 2. Network for Knowledge, Learning and Engagement 3. Expansion, deepening of experience, scaling up

ARISE

Global facility to assemble sustainable development portfolios consisting of pipelines of investible projects Wholly capitalized and supported by grant funds Resolves credibility challenge by providing continuity and due diligence across regions and portfolios Provides three intelligences: technical, financial, communication Unresolved: Where will be GPPFs home? Role of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) located in Seoul

Market Viability Challenge Small, fragmented, non-existent market often dominated by public sector (now experiencing budget constraints) Projects often fall below the initial capital investment threshold required of large institutional investors Lack of proven revenue models Prohibitively high transaction costs Upfront Capital Challenge Despite favorable economics when full lifecycle and avoided costs are considered, relatively higher relative initial capital requirements often deter serious consideration and implementation Risk Premium Challenge Would-be borrowers (city, municipal, local governments) suffer from lower credit ratings than provincial and national counterparts Innovative technologies and project designs lack sufficiently robust track records, thereby raising their risk profiles

Innovative Public-Private Partnerships Visibility, transparency, well-defined channels of communication Global Initiative on Urban Resilience: World Bank; SAIS/ERE; ICLEI; C-40; US Green Building Council; Abu Dhabi Eye-onEarth Summit Intermediary entities to ensure access to full array of capital available Bring together different stakeholders representing different colors of money public and private grants all the way to venture capital and private equity Global entity to prepare portfolios of smaller projects: New Role for Green Climate Fund? De-risks individual projects Reduces aggregate transaction costs
