Uma plataforma do ICLEI que conecta governos locais amazônicos a oportunidades de financiamento, inovação e cooperação internacional.
TAP Amazônia is the regional portfolio of the Transformative Actions Program (TAP) that brings together and promotes transformative projects from local and regional governments in the Amazon.
Created by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, TAP is a global platform that identifies, supports, and gives visibility to sustainable urban initiatives with high potential for climate, social, and economic impact, connecting them to development banks, multilateral funds, and technical partners.
In the Amazon, TAP is consolidating itself as an international showcase for projects that integrate mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development agendas. The proposals encompass green and blue infrastructure, sanitation, clean energy, nature-based solutions (NBS), and a low-carbon bioeconomy, reflecting the commitment of Amazonian cities to innovation and climate resilience.
Strengthening Capacities is an initiative of the Amazon Cities Forum (FCA) implemented by ICLEI South America, with technical and financial support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), within the framework of the Amazonía Siempre regional program. The project aims to strengthen the technical and institutional capacities of Amazonian local governments to develop climate adaptation and resilience projects capable of accessing national and international financing mechanisms.
The projects structured within the Strengthening Capacities framework form an essential part of the TAP Amazon portfolio, reflecting the commitment of Amazonian cities to climate action and sustainable development. By connecting local solutions to technical and financial partners, the initiative reinforces the role of the Amazon Cities Forum as a regional cooperation network and positions urban Amazonia as a protagonist in the climate transition towards COP30 and beyond.
