This event will take place on 5 December 2015, at the Cities and Regions pavilion workshop room, COP21 Green Zone, Le Bourget, from 17:30 until 18:30.

The workshop will elaborate how to best create matchmaking opportunities between cities seeking access to finance for their low-carbon projects and investors that look for bankable city-level projects.

The discussion will focus on a concrete public transportation project in the city of Balikpapan (Indonesia) that has been submitted under the ICLEI-led Transformative Action Program (TAP) to flag it to potential funders.

South Pole and Gold Standard will present a pre-feasibility assessment for this project under Climate-KIC’s Low Carbon City Lab, and discuss the project’s suitability for result-based finance.

Starting from this project, the participants will discuss lessons from TAP, the WWF Earth Hour City Challenge and a CDP project on how to enable matchmaking between investors and cities.

Access to this event is by invitation only. For more information, please contact COP21@climate-kic.org.
