Pipeline of investment-ready projects and 2 marketplaces to pitch projects to potential investors

Local governments face significant challenges in addressing climate change due to limited financial resources and technical expertise. Via this task, UTMC aims to bridge these gaps by facilitating dialogue, knowledge exchange, and capacity building among cities as part of the support to the Urban Transitions Mission (UTM), as well as Net Zero Cities (NZC) and beyond. ICLEI, who is leading the Transformative Actions Program (TAP), plays a central role in supporting cities showing alignment and leadership on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to strengthen their climate ideas towards financial readiness through project preparation and improved access to potential financiers.
