🏙️ Cities produce 75% of total CO2 emissions. They are the crucial to meeting the #SDGs and #ParisAgreement goals by 2030, but lack the necessary financial mechanisms. On #WorldCitiesDay, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network's Global Commission on Urban SDG Finance continues to harness the insights of mayors, climate and finance experts, city networks leaders, practitioners, and scholars to develop and champion innovative ideas and solutions for increasing urban SDG finance.

🌍 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 🌆 On this #WorldCitiesDay, we’re thrilled to spotlight two groundbreaking datasets from the SDG Transformation Center that are filling a critical data gap in localized SDG 11 reporting: the 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 (𝗟𝗨𝗘) and 𝟭𝟱-𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 indicators. Developed and made public by the SDG Transformation Center, these tools empower cities worldwide with new, localized data to drive sustainable urban transformation. 🏙️ 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 (𝗟𝗨𝗘) helps cities optimize land usage, ensuring sustainable growth while protecting green spaces. By understanding how land can be used more efficiently, cities can develop with sustainability at the forefront, meeting the needs of growing populations without compromising the environment. 🚶 The 𝗽𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 indicators showcases the proportion of residents that can access essential services, work, and leisure activities within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This approach enhances community connectivity, reduces emissions, and improves urban life quality. These datasets are designed to support policymakers, urban planners, and SDG advocates in creating actionable, data-driven plans for sustainable city development. Whether you’re working in government, urban planning, or SDG reporting, we encourage you to leverage this data in shaping policies that resonate locally. 📥 Access the data and methodologies here: 👉 [SDG Transformation Center Geospatial Data Platform](https://lnkd.in/edkqddz6) Together, let’s harness data to build cities that are inclusive, sustainable, and resilient! #SDGs #WorldCitiesDay #LandUseEfficiency #15MinuteCity #SDG11 Sustainable Development Solutions Network

Excellent discussion with some 25 people who dared the early morning drizzle on Day10 of #COP16: What, really, is the state of (government) action on nature? What is needed to deepen, accelerate and drive dialogue on action (and inaction!), above all in countries? How can a dedicated independent #NatureActionTracker provide practical inputs, transparency and a deeper understanding to accelerate national efforts, accountability and action that benefits not just ‘nature’ but people and communities?

Global standards for climate financing are essential. But tailored, regional approaches to energy financing are urgently needed. Asia and the Pacific, for example, has the fastest-growing energy demand—and the largest funding gap. In our recent publication with Environmental Defense Fund and Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition, we dive into region-specific and common financing challenges and make the case for localized solutions in clean energy financing. Join Lisa Sachs and Ana Maria Camelo Vega at COP29 to discuss. https://lnkd.in/ejyB8t65 📊 #CCSIonSustainableFinance Sustainable Development Solutions Network | UNIDO Perrine Toledano | Jeffrey Sachs #COP #COP29 #SustainableFinance #CCSIonSustainableFinance #EnergyTransition #ClimateFinance #SustainableDevelopment #CleanEnergy
