Overview
The United Nations Foundation serves as the institutional host of the recently established Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data. The Global Partnership brings together governments, private sector, civil society, and international institutions to harness new and traditional sources of data to better understand and address development challenges. This grant provides programmatic and operational support for the Global Partnership, with an emphasis on the strategy, governance, and operational activities required during the critical start-up phase to establish strong leadership, effective decision making, and clear actions toward the ultimate goal of filling development data gaps and making data more open, accessible, and usable by decision makers and citizens.

Grants to this Grantee
for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is uniquely suited to help states deliver on historic opportunities for bold climate action and maximize the potential of the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This grant will support states as they harness new federal resources, creating in-house secretariat capacity to provide technical, policy, and communications assistance to states, at scale, and deliver critical flexible funding.

for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors representing 24 states, with more than 60% of U.S. GDP, 55% of the U.S. population, and 40% of U.S. emissions. These governors are committed to driving the nation’s ambitious climate agenda by working in partnership with each other, the federal government, and the international community. The alliance has an important role to play in implementation of federal climate investment laws by supporting state engagement with federal agencies, supporting the development of state decarbonization plans, and supporting effective deployment of federal dollars to drive decarbonization and community economic development.
