Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA)

The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (the Alliance) is a multi-level and multi-stakeholder coalition aimed at closing the investment gap for urban subnational climate projects and infrastructure.

The Alliance provides a platform to convene and exchange knowledge among all relevant actors dedicated to urban development, climate action, and/or financing.

The Alliance is composed of the secretariat, members, action groups, a steering committee, and city ambassadors, and is powered by the Leadership for Urban Climate Investment.

Leadership for Urban Climate Investment (LUCI) is a framework that elevates and tracks commitments made by the Alliance member initiatives, helping them to implement bold and effective targets. The LUCI framework enables these ambitious targets by catalyzing action along the entire value chain of subnational climate finance from project conception through financing.
