This readiness proposal has four specific objectives:
- Assess, diagnose and prioritize emerging municipalities with the potential to contribute to the enhancement of the implementation of the NDCs.
- Strengthen capacities of LDC in the twelve selected municipalities to mainstream climate change in their local development agenda and enhance stakeholder engagement.
- Develop Climate Change Action Strategies and subsequent concept notes to access climate finance from the GCF.
- Share best practices and lessons learned amongst local governments to serve as basis for the strengthening of regional and national climate change, gender and territorial strategies.
