How can cities unlock the funding needed for transformative climate projects? Accessing finance is essential for urban initiatives, but the challenge often lies in getting projects ready for investment. That's where Project Preparation Facilities (PPFs) come in. They play a vital role in helping cities structure their projects to attract the financing they need to turn their climate ambitions into reality. PPFs help prepare #UrbanProjects for investment by addressing four key areas of support: 1️⃣ Capacity building and technical assistance 2️⃣ Project structuring and risk mitigation 3️⃣ Facilitating access to finance 4️⃣ Promoting sustainability and inclusivity Read this blog via UrbanShift and co-authored by #ICLEI, World Resources Institute, Climate Policy Initiative, C40 Cities, and WRI Brasil to explore how PPFs can help cities unlock urban finance, including case studies from five global PPFs. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUvd-rGE John-Rob Pool, Eillie Anzilotti, Francisco Martes Porto Macedo, Jessy Appavoo, André da Vila, Bruno Hernandez Incau

"Combatting climate change means placing cities at the center," write ICLEI President Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, Mayor of Malmö, Sweden, and ICLEI First Vice President Minna Arve, Mayor of Turku, Finland, in a joint article. Published by FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, #ICLEI leaders challenge the notion that cities are merely contributors to #ClimateChange. Instead, they position urban centers as crucial allies in our battle against the #ClimateEmergency. While cities account for 70% of global CO2 emissions, they're also at the forefront of innovative #ClimateSolutions. The mayors argue that as national governments falter, cities are stepping up with practical, sustainable approaches. However, they face a significant hurdle: only 10-15% of global #ClimateFinance reaches the local level. Despite this, cities remain resolute. "Just give us the means and we shall deliver a fairer and greener future," they declare. Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eT6yTj3G Malmö stad, Turun kaupunki - Åbo stad - City of Turku

Over the past five years, urban climate finance has more than doubled, reaching USD 831 billion in 2022. Despite this surge, and with cities facing increasingly severe climate threats, adaptation funding lags far behind, with just USD 10 billion – only 1.2% of total urban climate finance – being spent to adapt to a rapidly changing climate. These new figures were revealed in the newly released “The 2024 State of Cities Climate Finance Report” by Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA).#ICLEI is a proud founding member of the CCFLA. Maryke van Staden, ICLEI Director of carbonn Climate Center, serves at the CCFLA Steering Committee. She said, “The 2024 State of Cities Climate Finance report provides a detailed analysis of global urban climate finance flows and needs, offering strategic insights to unlock sustainable financing and drive a just transition at the local level. As a founding member of CCFLA, ICLEI leverages these valuable resources to advocate for increased financial flows toward sustainable projects, empowering local governments globally to scale up their climate action and invest in net-zero and resilience initiatives.” Explore and download this valuable resource, which provides a comprehensive assessment of urban climate flows and needs globally.https://lnkd.in/g8xvB6hZFor more details read on ⬇️⬇️

📢 LIVE NOW! The 2024 State of Cities Climate Finance Report 🏙️ Cities are at the heart of the climate transition, but they need significantly more investment to hit their climate targets. With over half the world's population currently living in urban areas, and that number rising to 70% by 2050, the time to act is now. CCFLA's assessment shows that annual urban climate finance must increase more than fivefold to attain a 1.5°C climate pathway. This creates a significant opportunity for investing in low-emission, resilient infrastructure, provided we tackle some key challenges. The 2024 State of Cities Climate Finance report offers an in-depth look at urban climate finance and needs worldwide. It’s designed to support CCFLA in rallying resources for impactful city-level climate initiatives by 2030. Let’s turn these insights into action! Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/g8xvB6hZCongratulations to the whole team: Jessie Press-Williams, Priscilla Negreiros, Pedro de Aragão Fernandes, Chavi Meattle, Hamza A., Arthur Vieira, José Eduardo Díaz Azcúnaga, Ben Melling, Barbara Buchner, Angel Jacob, Elana Fortin, Angela Pavuk, Kirsty Taylor, Pauline Baudry, Rob Kahn, Caroline Dreyer, Costanza Strinati.

The LGMA COP29 position is out now. The Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) Constituency have united around three clear asks for climate negotiators for the next climate conference in Baku. Learn more and download the joint position here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQCgAAgxAs implementation partners to the #ParisAgreement, local and other subnational governments - in collaboration with the LGMA Constituency - are committed to supporting the development, financing, and execution of ambitious NDCs and other key strategies leading up to 2025. For COP29 Azerbaijan, the #LGMA has therefore three main asks: 1️⃣ Accelerate inclusive, multilevel, gender-responsive and cooperative action, through new Nationally Determined Contributions developed in partnership with local and other subnational governments. 2️⃣ Finance sustainable urbanization and climate action at all levels. 3️⃣ Align the climate, nature, pollution and sustainable development agendas.COP28 UAE underscored the critical role of #MultilevelAction and local governments in driving global climate goals, celebrating breakthroughs like the #CHAMP initiative and the first-ever Local Climate Action Summit. Yet, despite this significant progress, local and other subnational governments are still sounding the alarm over the world’s path toward the SDGs and the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target. We invite all key stakeholders and local and other subnational governments to endorse the position. Learn how in the link above. The complete list of endorsers will be announced on 11 November at the LGMA #COP29 Press Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.Climate Chance, Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), Regions4, European Committee of the Regions (CoR), C40 Cities, Under2 Coalition - Climate Group, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities -

Finland has joined COP28’s Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP), showcasing its commitment to strengthening collaboration across all levels of government to deliver effective #ClimateAction. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eWx7FekJSpearheaded by ICLEI First Vice President Minna Arve, Mayor of Turku, Finland, the country’s endorsement of #CHAMP shows that leaders at every level are working together to solve the #ClimateEmergency. “Cities are on the frontline of the climate work, and I’m really proud that we already have in Finland very strong cooperation between the national government, regions, and cities, and this is a way to make it even more systemic,” says Mayor Arve. Finland is the first country to join CHAMP in 2024, totaling 73 nations that have officially pledged to the initiative. They all have committed to enhancing cooperation with their local, regional, and other subnational governments in planning, financing, implementing, and monitoring ambitious climate strategies, including their upcoming Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).#ICLEI leaders around the world are advocating for the continued support and implementation of CHAMP since COP28 UAE. For instance, Katja Dörner, Mayor of Bonn, Germany, and chair of the Climate Action Governance Portfolio for the ICLEI Global Executive Committee called on her fellow ICLEI Members to proactively engage with their national governments and national associations of local governments to enhance NDCs by 2025 and support CHAMP. National associations of local governments in Germany, Brazil, and the United States called on their national governments to support the initiative, joining a global movement to push for stronger local involvement in national climate plans. 📹 Watch this video featuring Kai Mykkänen, Minister of Climate and the Environment, Finland, and Mayor Arve, announcing Finland’s endorsement of CHAMP.Turun kaupunki - Åbo stad - City of Turku -

“Leaders from cities, towns, and regions in the ICLEI Network are at the Summit of the Future to demonstrate their commitment to meaningful, transparent global cooperation. International collaboration is more vital than ever for our survival, and without it we will not meet our sustainability goals or be able to adequately respond to emerging challenges and opportunities,” said ICLEI President Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, Mayor of Malmö, Sweden. Mayor Jammeh is leading ICLEI’s delegation of over a dozen Members from local and regional governments, who will travel to New York for the UN Summit of the Future and Climate Week NYC. The UN #SummitOfTheFuture is an initiative of UN Secretary-General António Guterres to bring together world leaders to improve the UN system and strengthen multilateralism. Expected outcomes include the Pact for the Future, which would be key for establishing a structured, coordinated, and systematic approach for the inclusion, direct financing, monitoring, reporting, and capacity building of local and other subnational governments across the Rio Conventions and the SDG Agenda. ICLEI’s delegation of local and regional government leaders will be bringing the voice of subnationals to these high-level events. Read our blog to learn more about the role of cities and regions in shaping key outcomes toward advancing global #sustainability through #MultilateralCollaboration.https://lnkd.in/e2Prpn6X
