Call for submission of case studies for the Annex of the World Cities
Report 2024
February 2024
We have received this call from Global Land Tool Network - GLTN
under UN-Habitat:
We would like to invite your contributions to UN-Habitat’s World
Cities Report 2024. This year’s report will focus on cities and climate
action. It will include an annex to showcase 30 case studies of good
practices implemented by cities to tackle climate change and its
impacts.
The case studies will look at various angles of climate action to
provide decision-makers and stakeholders at the city level with a
compilation of successful measures. The intended impact is to increase
knowledge on the implementation of climate actions in view of the New
Urban Agenda, National Determined Contribution (NDC) at the city level
and the Agenda 2030, and to increase cities’ resilience by highlighting
good practices. The case studies will focus on the enablers and key
factors of success for such actions.
- Case studies will relate to the following sections of the World
Cities Report:
- Case studies on adaptation to specific climate-related hazards;
- Case studies on actions aiming at building climate resilience of
vulnerable urban populations;
- Case studies on urban design and planning for sustainable
cities;
- Case studies on sectoral interventions and resilient
infrastructure;
- Case studies on multilevel governance for climate action;
- Case studies on fostering innovation for inclusive climate
actions;
- Case studies on financing interventions for climate change in
cities.
Requesting the partners interested in submitting their case studies
related to the work of GLTN on Land and Tenure Security to submit the
case studies through their respective cluster leads using the attached
template, in this case FIG.
Please note that all case studies must highlight clear evidence of
change and impact. Certain criteria will need to be met for the final
selection of case studies - such as regional balance, verifiable
implementation and impact in the form of documentation (photos, news
stories, project reports etc.), timeframe (with more recent cases, from
2015 onwards, being preferred). They should be aligned to the UN values.
- For more information, please see the
Concept note
- Template (word) for the submission of a case study demonstrating
good practice for cities’ climate action
If you want to contribute please submit the duly filled in template
with your contribution to FIG Director Louise Friis-Hansen lfh [at]
fig.net the latest on 19 March 2024 for the review of
GLTN.
Note. For case studies that are not related to land or tenure
security, they can be submitted directly from the UN-Habitat website
call for proposals.
