ABSTRACT

Climate change has exposed significant urban vulnerabilities in the Global North and South, leading to calls for sustainable, green, and climate-resilient (SGR) cities. The multilateral development banks (MDBs) financed projects and established initiatives to promote SGR cities during the 2010s. This article qualitatively analyses 60 SGR city projects financed by seven MDBs between December 2009 and August 2020. The contribution of the article is to analyse what the MDBs are financing: What types of projects are being approved? What are their objectives and components? What outcomes are hoped to be achieved? As a microcosm of broader MDB climate interventions, the article evaluates what the MDBs are prioritizing in their SGR city projects and what this means for development and climate change. The article concludes that while the projects advocate interventions to address climate change, maintain economic growth, and build more equitable cities, they conform to a narrow focus on infrastructural development, a technology-based approach that is uncertain to address the complex social and economic factors leading to human-induced climate change.

可持续、绿色和气候适应型城市:对多边开发银行的分析

摘要

气候变化暴露了全球北部和南部城市的严重脆弱性,从而引发了对可持续、绿色和气候适应 (SGR) 城市的呼吁。多边开发银行 (MDB) 在 2010 年代资助了项目并制定了促进 SGR 城市的倡议。本文定性分析了 2009 年 12 月至 2020 年 8 月期间由 7 个多边开发银行资助的 60 个 SGR 城市项目。本文的贡献在于分析多边开发银行正在资助什么:哪些类型的项目正在获得批准?他们的目标和组成部分是什么?希望取得什么样的成果?作为更广泛的多边开发银行气候干预措施的一个缩影,本文评估了多边开发银行在其 SGR 城市项目中的优先事项以及这对发展和气候变化意味着什么。
