From Informality to Impact: The Untapped Potential of Scaling Urban Resilience Innovation in Informality
This report dives into the untapped potential of urban resilience innovations in informal settlements
where less than 2% of urban climate finance currently reaches. It highlights the need for targeted partnerships to drive real impact where it
s most urgently needed.
This study reviewed ~130 urban resilience solutions implemented by for-profit and not-for-profit organisations in cities in the Global South, with a focus on informal contexts. The research included a comprehensive literature review, in-depth qualitative interviews with funders and implementers, and a large-scale survey.
The report seeks to:
- Review the current landscape of for-profit and not-for-profit urban resilience solutions being implemented in informal contexts (including but not limited to informal settlements, informal economies and labour) in the Global South.
- Identify key opportunities and challenges for scaling urban resilience solutions in informal contexts.
- Provide recommendations for enabling policy and investment approaches to help scale the for-profit and not-for-profit resilience solutions market.
