2nd Meeting - Key take aways

Key Take-Aways Dichotomies emerging when pursuing Green reform at the municipal-level: 1. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework vs (Financial) Management frameworks 2. Equality vs Financing Schemes 3. Local vs National-International, for example: The contrast between city limits and the systemic nature of environmental issues 4. Engineers vs CFOs 5. Public vs Private, for example: Adapting/designing municipal projects to mobilize international capital, designing these to provide returns and justify investment to stakeholders from the outset 6. Investments vs Operation: The economic and social value of new (green) infrastructure beyond its initial investment, i.e. its operating costs and maintenance over the long-term. For example: Will the costs incurred by the citizenry will be offset by employment creation?
