How does a city ensure that the transition to a green economy is fair for everyone? 👷🏙️ From 2022 to 2026, the C40 Climate Action Implementation (CAI) programme, funded by the UK Government, partnered with the Quezon City Government to turn ambitious climate goals into community-centred policies. This video showcases Quezon City’s journey in modernising its Green Building Ordinance (GBC) 2025, locally contextualising Good Green Jobs for the informal sector, and using digital innovation like the Solar Dashboard to unlock massive renewable energy potential. By mainstreaming Inclusive Climate Action (ICA) training for over 19,000 city employees, Quezon City is setting a global benchmark for a "Green and Just" transition. Key highlights: ✅ GBC 2025: Reducing city emissions by 30% through smarter buildings. ✅ Good green jobs: Pioneering legislation that protects and empowers marginalised workers. ✅ Solar dashboard: Identifying rooftop potential 3x higher than current consumption. ✅ ICA mainstreaming: Integrating equity into the city’s official HR training system. This video is part of a global series showcasing how UCAP CAI is driving transformational change in 15 cities across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. 🌍 Explore the Quezon City Knowledge Products: https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Mainstreaming-inclusive-climate-action-in-Quezon-City-Good-green-jobs-and-the-informal-sector?language=en_US Visit the UCAP CAI webpage: https://c40.me/3VAuZFX
