About CPI

With deep expertise in finance and policy, Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) is an analysis and advisory organization that works to improve the most important energy and land use practices around the world.

Our mission is to help governments, businesses, and financial institutions drive economic growth while addressing climate change. CPI has six offices around the world, including Brazil, India, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

About the Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance

Trillions of dollars will be required to help cities build the low-emissions, resilient infrastructure necessary to combat and react to climate change.

Dramatic changes in the global economic and political landscape, demand new approaches to urban development and the climate transition.

There is a clear demand for coordinated work across the entire urban climate finance value chain to accelerate cities' climate transition and facilitate their access to climate investment.

Positioned as the driving force behind these much-needed coordination efforts, Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA) is the main multi-level and multi-stakeholder coalition aimed at closing the investment gap for urban subnational climate projects and infrastructure worldwide.

CCFLA was launched at the United Nations Secretary General's Climate Summit in September 2014 and renewed at the United Nations Secretary General's Climate Summit in September 2019, when the Secretariat was handed over to CPI.

Today, CCFLA has 86 Members committed to deploying finance for city-level climate action at scale by 2030.

Its Members represent many of the world's largest city and subnational networks, major public and private financial institutions, governments, and international organizations.

CCFLA engages its Members in knowledge, collaboration, and advocacy activities aiming to help close the urban climate finance gap

More specifically:
-
Knowledge: CCFLA produces practical knowledge products that can help Members advance solutions to close the urban climate finance gap.

-
Advocacy: CCFLA uses its expertise to inform international discussions and amplify messages from our members on the main climate forums.
