From innovation to implementation: funding models for climate mitigation and adaptation at the urban level

Organised by the Metropolitan City of Milan, SUR Lab at Bocconi University and the Italian Sustainable Investment Forum, this Italy Pavilion event examines how cities can move from experimental initiatives to sustained investment in climate mitigation and adaptation.

The discussion will address the role of local authorities in implementing the Urban Agenda and climate policies, Climate City Contracts as governance tools, revolving climate funds, cooperation between public and private actors, and sustainable finance instruments for mobilising adaptation investment.

SUR Lab will contribute through Edoardo Croci, Professor of Practice and Director of SUR Lab, and Benedetta Lucchitta, Senior Researcher, both participating online. Their involvement connects the Lab’s work on urban sustainability, climate governance and financing with international debate and advocacy for the implementation of local climate action.

• Emilio De Vita, Director of the Environment and Territory Protection Division, Metropolitan City of Milan.
• Mara Cossu, Coordinator of the Sustainable Development Unit, Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE).
