Initiatives Overview

TACKLING THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE

GCoM’s three initiatives address the compelling need for research, innovation, technical assistance, and city-level intelligence to help cities contribute to a global climate solution. These initiatives, Innovate4Cities, Data4Cities and Invest4Cities, focus on developing the next generation of knowledge, data, tools and technical support through which local policymakers can tackle sustainability challenges.

Our Initatives

Innovate4Cities

Data4Cities

This initiative builds the technological capacity and evidence to show the importance of city action and the need for future investment in cities.

Data4Cities

Invest4Cities

The Invest4cities initiative aims to enhance and accelerate cities and local governments’ access to domestic and international financial investment in projects critical to the realization of their GCoM commitments.
