| Summary: | The Rio de Janeiro Low Carbon City
Development Program is an ISO-certified framework and set of
comprehensive requirements to help the city to plan,
implement, monitor, and account for low carbon investments
and climate change mitigation actions across all sectors in
the city over time. The Program will enable the city to plan
and implement the mitigation actions needed to achieve its
city-wide mitigation goals, as well as credibly and
transparently demonstrate the achievement of those goals
through diligent monitoring and accounting of the actions
taken. This issue of Directions in Urban Development
describes the context underlying the development of the
Program in Rio, and the key components of such an
ISO-certified program including roles and responsibilities,
planning and evaluation, and the program process. |
