Description/achievement of initiative

The Climate Action Implementation Facility is a joint initiative of SOLUTIONS and SUSTAIN EU-ASEAN partners, building on international activities in the areas of sustainable urban development, energy, mobility and climate change mitigation. This partnership focuses on closing the implementation gap between applied research and policy action to foster sustainable development around the world. The CAIF develops implementation-ready concepts bringing together local demand, technical expertise and policy advice with financing institutions.

Implementation methodologies

The partnership currently works in two major projects:1. SOLUTIONS: Supporting the uptake of innovative sustainable urban mobility solutions). with 27 partner organisations in 19 countries focusing on the implementation of sustainable transport measures in Europe, Asia, North Africa and Latin America. http://www.urban-mobility-solutions.eu.2. SUSTAIN EU-ASEAN: Sustain and enhance cooperation on sustainable development between Europe and Southeast Asia http://www.sustain-eu-asean.net

Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

Through the urban mobility and climate action networks will continue to provide capacity building opportunities in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
