Overview
C40 is a network of the world’s megacities committed to addressing climate change. This grant will support advancing vehicle electrification in three to five North American cities who are signatories to C40’s Green and Healthy Streets Declaration. The signatory cities have agreed to procure only zero-emission buses by 2025, and to ensure that a substantial central area of their city is zero emission by 2030. C40 will leverage many of its networks to provide technical assistance and launch a strategic communications campaign to build support for mayors to realize the goals of the declaration.

for a regional network of chief financial officers in African cities
C40 Cities is a network of about 100 global megacities committed to leadership in climate action. It seeks to reduce the emissions of its member cities within a decade while improving equity, building resilience, and creating the conditions for everyone, everywhere, to thrive. This grant supports the scoping and developing of a regional network of chief financial officers (CFOs) in 13 African cities. The grant aims to strengthen municipal environments favorable to investment, underpinning the development of climate-smart project pipelines at the pace and scale required to meet major African cities' climate goals. The grant will focus on early-stage design, development, and consultation work to identify and support CFO needs, including developing programming, partnerships development, research, and other scoping requirements across sub-Sahara Africa.
