Helping cities to create bankable projects for municipal solid waste management

This is a report from the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) Finance Workshop that was held on September 10-11, 2015, in Paris.

Five cities participated from developing countries, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cebu City, Philippines; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Amman, Jordan and Battambang, Cambodia, and helped to frame discussions and expert advice by posing questions and presenting their own case studies. Additionally, Kenya has been represented on the National level.
