The Alliance will soon launch a new product that will highlight how National Development Banks (NDBs) can support subnational governments with the development of #climatesmart infrastructure.

Based on first-hand interviews with NDBs and cities, the result is a conceptual model of 12 maturity dimensions along four parameters – strategic, financial, business, and operational. This session will present this new work and will bring together experts to discuss these issues.

Join the webinar on Wednesday 3 March to learn more and hear from experts in this space.
