SUMMARY:Part 4: Financial Barriers to Climate Action Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Financing is one of the most common challenges local governments face when looking to put their climate plans into action. Municipal governments are limited in the tools available to them to raise revenue\, being largely dependent on property taxes\, user fees\, and funding from other levels of government. Though climate mitigation and adaptation will ultimately result in cost-savings for governments and residents alike\, many projects require significant initial investment\, which can be a deterrent for cash-strapped municipalities.   \nHowever\, municipalities are also creating new and innovative solutions\, creating taxation structures\,  working with new partners\, and tapping into new sources of revenue. This webinar will feature a discussion of the range of different climate financing options available to municipalities\, as well as a case study of one community’s successful approach to financing climate action.
