UrbanShift Annual Report 2023-2024
With a focus on accelerating urban climate finance and multi-level government, UrbanShift's third annual report dives into stories of progress and innovative ideas from across our network.
UrbanShift's fourth year precipitated tremendous progress across the network of 23 cities as they advance sustainable solutions, and powerful calls to accelerate the flows of finance to cities so they can continue this transformational work.
The 2023-2024 UrbanShift Annual Report spans a robust year of capacity-building and on-the-ground transformation, highlighting everything from the UrbanShift Latin America Forum in Belém, Brazil to innovative urban ideas like bioeconomies and people-centered resilience strategies. Featuring voices from across the network and stories of progress and transformation, the program's penultimate Annual Report for UrbanShift provides a comprehensive overview of how UrbanShift is accelerating urban resilience and sustainability.
