The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance is a coalition of leaders committed to deploying finance for city level climate action at scale by 2030.
Trillions of dollars will be required to help cities build the low-emissions, resilient infrastructure necessary to combat and react to climate change. The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance is the only multi-level and multi-stakeholder coalition aimed at closing the investment gap for urban subnational climate projects and infrastructure worldwide.
