09:30 - 11:00 Plenary 4: Financing Urban Resilience
The Financing Plenary of the Congress will incorporate the highlights in resilience financing with an aim towards understanding barriers to financing adaptation measures. The session will also cover the importance of building partnerships to address these challenges. The need for local governments to think creatively about financing their resilience efforts using their own existing assets, local revenue streams and fiscal mechanisms to leverage other funds, will also be brought to the forefront.
