Multilevel Climate Action in Africa: Tangible examples, ready for scaling

Local governments are on the frontline of urban challenges and possess valuable insights into their communities’ needs. Direct investment empowers local governments to implement context-specific projects that enhance infrastructure, service delivery, and climate resilience. Scores of African cities have invested heavily in the development of climate and energy plans but challenges exist in gaining access to the finance needed to implement these plans.

By bridging the gap between multi-level international institutions, development finance institutions and government tiers, finance can be unlocked at the local level, where it is needed most. This will enable African cities to implement new and scale-tested transformative projects to address pressing issues such as water security, sustainable waste management, and access to sustainable energy.
