This paper reviews 10 in–depth case studies of urban projects proposed and operating within the realm of Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. Drivers of success for these projects are examined, and how to best tap the potential for carbon markets to offer increased levels of financial support for urban mitigation projects is explored.

Public and private financing for climate action will need to be scaled up significantly in the coming years. Indeed, the Cancún Agreements call on developed countries to provide new and additional resources for climate actions: USD 30 billion over 2010-2012 and a longer term goal of $100 billion per year by 2020. The OECD is ready to assist countries in their efforts to find lasting solutions to finance action on climate change, building on the long-standing work of the organisation to share country experiences and identify lessons learnt and policy recommendations for good practice.

"Incorporating Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation in Environmental Impact Assessments: Opportunities and Challenges” shows that there is ample scope for employing EIA procedures as a vehicle for enhancing the resilience of projects to the impacts of climate change. While a number of governments have signalled their intent to move in this direction, this assessment could find examples in only three countries of projects that considered climate change impacts and adaptation as part of the EIA.

“Plan or React? Analysis of Adaptation Costs and Benefits Using Integrated Assessment Models” presents the first inter-model comparison of results on adaptation costs. Results show that all types of adaptation options are important in offsetting some of the adverse impacts of climate change. However, the total costs of climate change are the lowest when both mitigation and adaptation are undertaken in conjunction.
