Provision of knowledge products for the KfW urban resilience knowledge platform

The Urban Resilience Lab (URL) was established within KfW Development Bank and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It aims to increase KfW's capabilities in the area of urban climate resilience by strengthening KfW's internal knowledge and developing pilot projects in the regions of South Asia, Latin America and Central Africa. As part of the URL, a multi-sectoral knowledge platform on urban climate resilience has been developed to inspire and assist KfW Development Bank portfolio managers in designing innovative, holistic and transformative projects. 

adelphi prepared various knowledge products on urban climate resilience for KfW's knowledge platform. Specifically, this included project profiles of a selection of KfW-external best practices (e.g. from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank) with innovative approaches, e.g. on nature-based solutions (NbS) in KfW partner countries. Furthermore, adelphi compiled fact sheets on holistic approaches to climate adaptation (e.g. scenario- and risk-based planning), in which possible modes of action and implementation options for KfW are presented.
