The City Climate Finance Gap Fund is a global initiative that helps cities in developing and emerging economies turn their climate ambitions into actionable, bankable projects. It provides technical assistance and early-stage support to municipalities so they can design, prioritize, and prepare sustainable infrastructure projects that attract climate finance. By bridging the gap between a city’s climate goals and the financing needed to implement them, the Gap Fund focuses on areas such as clean energy, resilient urban planning, sustainable mobility, and waste management. Backed by institutions like the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, and supported by donor governments, it works with cities worldwide—including in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the MENA region—to accelerate low-carbon, climate-resilient development.
