ICMA is pleased to announce that the resource city application process for CityLinks’ 2015 Climate Adaptation Partnership Program (CAPP) is now open. This is an opportunity for communities that have begun to grapple with climate challenges to share best practices and lessons learned with their colleagues in developing countries. Partnership activities include a series of technical exchange trips between two selected communities over a 9-12 month period. During the life of the partnership, participants will have the chance to hone their skills, develop creative solutions, and come away with an increased understanding of their partner city and new insights into the practices of their own.
The 2015 CAPPs are open to all urban sub-national entities in developed countries. This includes but is not limited to local and regional governing bodies, cities, counties, municipalities, and districts. Governing areas can have a combined urban/rural population, but must be based around an urban core. Learn more about this innovative partnership opportunity and how to apply here.
