SDG-driven and climate resilient local public-private partnerships

On 25 January 2024, the Global Cities Hub (GCH), in cooperation with UN-Habitat and WAPPP organized the Geneva Urban Debate on “Using local Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to create more reliable and resilient infrastructure”. We could hear from experts and practitioners about strategies to optimize locally aligned PPP projects for critical infrastructure development and financing. While PPPs can also be implemented at the national level, their impact for Local and Regional Governments (LRGs) is substantial.
