UNEP and the International Resource Panel (IRP) have developed the report “The weight of Cities: Resource Requirements of Future Urbanization”, which was launched in 2018. The report is a call for a new strategy for urbanization in the 21st century and presents actions on urban planning, considerations on the efficient use of resources for a transition towards low carbon cities that are efficient in the use of natural resources and socially just.

In this context, AAE, together with xxxx and ORT were hired to develop a Latin America and the Caribbean version of the report.

Main tasks

  • Develop table of content and annotated outline of the report in coordination with UNEP and in contact with advisors from the IRP;
  • Assemble a cross disciplinary team of author that represents the region;
  • Coordinate efforts from the authors to conduct research and review of necessary literature to develop the report. This includes the description of concepts, preparation of case studies, illustrations and contextualization;
  • Support the creation of a Review Committee with representatives from national and subnational governments, organizations, research centers and the private sector;
  • Prepare content and material for outreach and dissemination strategy.

Main outputs
