Low-Carbon Slum Upgrading
This note has two main objectives: It highlights the critical need for low-carbon slum upgrading within city investments for climate mitigation, and demonstrates that practical, affordable and adaptable low-carbon solutions for slum upgrading at the household level and neighborhood level are possible and have been implemented successfully in many slums in different countries. The note aims to inform urban practitioners and policy makers who are either directly involved in slum upgrading projects, or in a position to influence related policies.
