By breaking down barriers to finance and connecting cities to expertise, we turn climate action plans into real projects that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Harnessing the power of partnerships, the C40 Cities Finance Facility is jointly implemented by C40 Cities and GIZ, with support from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
