Overview
C40 works to support Chinese city climate action plans and implementation. As China’s climate paradigm shifted from central government policy change to sub-national implementation, the role of Chinese cities and mayors in ensuring substantial emissions reduction has become increasingly significant. This project will help strengthen city mayors’ political will through a better understanding and demonstration of a new growth model that’s built upon low-carbon policy, designs, and investments. It will also scale up Chinese city climate actions through C40’s network of Chinese and international mayors and their learnings, exchanges, and cooperation. (Substrategy: China National Policy)

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.
