Federal programs like AdaptaCidades and PCVR are expanding municipal adaptation planning and capacity-building, signaling a shift toward structured, long-term urban resilience financing at the subnational level.
Urban climate integration is advancing through municipal strategies like PlanClima SP and national financing tools such as the BNDES Climate Fund and Finisa Verde, enabling larger-scale investments in low-carbon mobility, infrastructure, and efficiency.
Waste management financing is receiving targeted attention under Programa Lixão Zero, aligning environmental health with climate mitigation while creating entry points for municipal green bonds and PPPs in the waste sector.
Despite progress, financing remains concentrated in early-stage or pilot projects, with limited integration into municipal fiscal frameworks, especially in small and mid-sized cities.
Launched in 2023, the PPF Connector program supports enhanced collaboration and information exchange among project preparation facilities (PPFs), boosting the efficiency and efficacy of the project preparation technical assistance (TA) ecosystem for urban climate-related infrastructure projects.
The CCFLA Brazil Hub, implemented in 2025, plays a critical role at the urban climate finance ecosystem level, by bringing together main actors in the agenda to identify gaps challenges, explore solutions and collaborate across diverse areas (such as adaptation finance, project preparation and enabling environments).
