Les produits de financement conçus pour aider à surmonter les coûts initiaux des mises à niveau énergétiques sont essentiels pour une transformation équitable et inclusive des énergies propres à l’échelle et au rythme de cette crise climatique. Quelles sont les principales considérations pour les villes et leurs partenaires dans le choix des options de financement lors de la conception d’une énergie universelle basée sur l’équité?

Learning Outcomes:
From this webinar and the supporting resources shared, participants will be ready use financing to address:

  • Program access and participation barriers for low and moderate income (LMI) households and others without access to upfront capital and credit. 
  • Affordability challenges for households with high energy cost burdens (households in energy poverty).
  • The enormous gap between historical uptakes in energy efficiency and renewable programs and the uptakes required for this Climate Decade if we are to meet 2030 and 2050 targets commensurate with the Paris Agreement and the goal of carbon neutral cities by mid-century.
