非洲城市正在迅速增长,但是城市基础设施服务并没有跟上需求的步伐。这种增长的大部分将添加到非正式定居点中,在这种定居点中,人们无法可靠,安全或负担得起的基本日常服务。这些定居点已经占城市的50%以上。

由于非洲的许多城市已经在努力满足人们的基本需求,因此发展和气候挑战越来越成为城市挑战。必威官网是真的吗建造可持续城市取决于我们是否可以从普遍的商业转变为更具变革性的方法。

WRI致力于通过帮助城市管理,私人和公共投资者以及捐助者来确保非洲城市的未来,并就城市规划和政策做出明智的决定。

城市4forest

Trees and forests are essential to cities and their residents, providing many benefits for climate, water, biodiversity, resident health and well-being. However, forests near and far from cities continue to face deforestation, threatening watersheds, air quality, the climate and more. At the same time, city leaders struggle to address converging challenges like climate change, water scarcity, pollution and economic downturns. These are not separate challenges: cities can step up for forests, and forests can provide essential benefits in return.

城市4forestis a coalition of more than 60 city agencies and municipalities, including partners from eight African cities. The coalition encourages peer-to-peer learning and connects cities with technical support to help them recognize their interdependence with the world’s forests and use their political, economic and cultural power to protect and manage forests for human well-being.

清洁空气催化剂

Rapidly urbanizing regions in low- and middle-income countries are at the frontlines of a growing air pollution and climate crisis. Nine out of ten people breathe unhealthy air, causing more than six million premature deaths every year. Many fossil fuel, combustion, industrial and agricultural emissions that create air pollution are also warming the atmosphere, threatening even more livelihoods globally.

The Clean Air Catalyst is a global consortium of organizations that complements traditional efforts to strengthen air quality management capacity. The project achieves this by tackling two critical bottlenecks that hinder clean air action: the gap between recognizing a problem and awareness of the solution; and the often-high cost of reducing emissions, with is unevenly distributed alongside the benefits of action.

城市政策倡议

《城市政策计划》旨在评估非洲城市发展政策的状况,支持城市修改其城市发展政策并协助实施经济倡议。该项目目前已在Ethiopia南非

在非洲建造弹性城市

非洲仅贡献了全球碳排放量的4%,但三分之二的大陆城市面临着与气候相关的冲击的极端风险。必威官网是真的吗低水平的经济发展和适应能力,有限的基本基础设施覆盖范围和服务以及机构结构薄弱,大陆对气候变化影必威官网是真的吗响的脆弱性进一步加剧了。根据联合国的说法,到2050年,非洲将需要500亿美元的适应融资。如果发达国家未达到其承诺的针对弱势国家的适应性融资的目标,那么后果将是可怕的。

在非洲建造弹性城市是一个旨在支持未支持的项目Race to Resilience由高级气候冠军领导的竞选活动。必威官网是真的吗该项目将通过利用WRI计划和全球计划的课程(如1000 Cities Now Adapt(1000Can),WRI WRI,WRI,全球适应性,弹性城市网络和联合国联合国全球中心之间的新联盟(1000 CONITION),通过利用WRI计划和全球计划的课程来巩固非洲优先事项,以塑造COP的弹性议程。- 为加快1000个城市的气候变化适应而创建的居民。必威官网是真的吗

非洲数字运输

至少有1.05亿人居住在非洲城市的人没有关于其运输系统的可靠信息,大约70%的运输服务几乎没有整合或法规。信息差距使人们很难理解过境系统和计划者改善它们。这构成了巨大的挑战,因为质量和负担得起的公共交通对打击不平等,增加机会和获得服务,改善公共卫生并减少碳排放至关重要。

Digital Transport4africa(DT4A)代表着一个大型的,多样化的参与者网络,致力于建立数字共享并应用数字发展原则达到可持续城市流动性和通道的目标。DT4A通过利用标准化数据来实现这一目标;提供专业知识和工具,以使当前的运输,土地使用和数据适应非洲背景;收集证据以支持数据信息的流动计划和实施;并培养创新以促进开放运输数据的使用。

彭博社慈善全球道路安全慈善事业(BIGRS)

交通事故是世界各地的第八大死亡原因,每年造成近140万人丧生,造成5000万人伤亡。城市和国家,尤其是在大多数交通事故和死亡的低收入和中等收入国家中,常常缺乏应对关键道路安全威胁的能力。为了扭转这种趋势,有必要采用基于证据的方法来支持国家和城市政府,以采用强大的运输立法,增强数据收集和监视,改变道路用户行为,改善基础设施并升级车辆安全。WRI通过支持城市采用速度管理立法,规模更安全的道路干预,准备全面的道路安全计划,制定设计指南和道路安全策略和计划以及提高当地机构的能力来实现这一目标。该项目支持非洲三个国家的四个城市:Accra库马西,加纳;乌干达坎帕拉;和亚的斯亚贝巴,埃塞俄比亚

区域电动汽车价值链开发

运输部门的脱碳将为非洲城市创造一个更清洁,更健康,更实惠的未来。该行业在2015年占全球石油消费量的三分之二,仅公路运输就占消费的一半。无论撒哈拉以南非洲的消费量如何,过渡到更清洁的运输系统是建立可宜居未来的关键。

非洲国家可以跳到运输电气化,并使用电动汽车作为变革性开发的催化剂。对于非洲领导人来说,这是一个及时的机会,可以定义公共政策,技术途径和商业模式来保护下一代可持续运输系统。

WRI与壳牌基金会和英国援助合作,努力研究私营部门参与埃塞俄比亚运输电气的机会以及这种变化的影响和利益。作为该项目的一部分,WRI将探索流动能力的途径和私营部门参与的作用;分析使私营部门流动性在Ethiopia;并建议与部门,地区和公司参与。

投资步行和骑自行车政策

在许多非洲国家,大部分人口步行和循环是每日运输方式,通常是出于必要的。但是,缺乏安全的基础设施和增加空气污染的暴露会使他们的生命处于危险之中。

非洲的大多数国家都缺乏系统的方法来优先考虑行人和骑自行车的人的需求。为了满足步行和骑自行车的人的需求,至关重要的是要确保全国和城市层面的道路建设包括NMT基础设施的建设。

This project aims to strengthen the capacity of governments to prioritize and allocate resources to NMT infrastructure by introducing relevant policies and enhancing engagement between policymakers and groups representing vulnerable citizens.

集成数据中心

缺乏质量数据和分析是促进NMT,大众运输系统和道路安全的主要障碍之一。另一个挑战是利益相关者之间缺乏协调,这导致资源浪费,社会和经济成本以及对建筑环境的不利影响。

The new Data Hub for the city of亚的斯亚贝巴(埃塞俄比亚首都, which WRI is currently developing, will address these challenges by providing data and analysis to inform decision making in transport and land use planning. The Data Hub is designed to help the city advance at least two strategic interventions in its非机动运输策略与亚的斯亚贝巴总体规划保持一致。

包容性,有影响力和创新的流动性(3IM)

Although in most African cities governments are responsible for the regulation of public transport, services are largely provided by the informal and, to a small extent, formal private sector. The regulatory environment for the transport sector is often unclear and difficult to navigate, making impact investment difficult.

3IM项目由WRI实施乌干达坎帕拉with the financial support of the Shell Foundation. Informal transport is dominant in Kampala with privately operated minibuses (locally called taxis or matatus) and motorcycle taxis (boda bodas) providing an estimated 70% of all motorized trips in Kampala with minimal government oversight. Through the 3iM project, WRI supports Kampala city in the development of policies and regulations to improve investment in the transport sector, enhance coordination between the private and public support for better provision of transport services, and raise awareness of the enterprises’ market and institutional barriers and net impacts — both positive and negative.
