This LAV’s general goal is to incorporate external views to enrich the planning, management and financing processes of sustainable cities and their climate adaptation in Uruguay and, at the same time, ways of integrating non-state actors in these processes. This LAV also seeks to share Uruguay’s accumulated experience that may be of interest to other actors in other contexts.
