Sustainable Cities Integrated Program

The SCIP objectives are to support cities and local governments to undertake integrated urban planning, implement policies and invest in nature-positive, climate-resilient, and carbon-neutral urban development. The SCIP will generate impact at the local, national, and global levels and demonstrate thought-leadership in urban sustainability, fostering behavior, business model, and institutional changes through integrated planning, innovative financing mechanisms, knowledge-sharing, capacity-building, and multi-stakeholder engagements. The SCIP will help cities integrate sustainability into planning and policies and engage diverse stakeholders and partners across different sectors and scales.
