Objective, output, benefit
The overall objective of the programme is to empower smaller cities to develop and implement “Clean Air Action Plans” with the participation of civil society and the private sector.
In its initial phase, up to 14 cities of between 200,000 – 1.5 million inhabitants shall be supported in the development and implementation of “Clean Air Action Plans”. Advisory services for baseline conditions assessments and for seeking financial assistance through Development Banks will be also provided.
Co-benefits with climate change approaches are seen as substantial and may help to additionally attract funds from specialised financing institutions.
