ABOUT CPI 

CPI is an analysis and advisory organization with deep expertise in finance and policy. Our mission is to help governments, businesses, and financial institutions drive economic growth while addressing climate change. CPI has seven offices around the world in Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States (San Francisco and Washington D.C.)

CPI is known as a leader in tracking sustainable investment trends, identifying innovative business models, and supporting the solutions that can drive the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient, inclusive economy. We are unique in our focus on finance, our ability to get the right people to the table, and our analytical rigor.

ABOUT THE CITIES CLIMATE FINANCE LEADERSHIP ALLIANCE  

Trillions of dollars will be required to help cities build the low-emissions, resilient infrastructure necessary to combat and react to climate change. The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA) is the only multi-level and multi-stakeholder coalition aimed at closing the investment gap for urban subnational climate projects and infrastructure worldwide. CCFLA was launched at the United Nations Secretary General’s Climate Summit in September 2014 and renewed at the United Nations Secretary General’s Climate Summit in September 2019, when the Secretariat was handed over to CPI.

Today, CCFLA has 84 Members committed to deploying finance for city-level climate action at scale by 2030. Its members represent many of the world’s largest city and subnational networks (C40, ICLEI, UCLG, GCOM, among others), major public and private financial institutions (World Bank, AFD, KFW, among others), governments, and international organizations.

CCFLA engages its members in knowledge, collaboration, and advocacy activities aiming to help close the urban climate finance gap. More specifically:

• Knowledge: CCFLA produces practical knowledge products that can help Members advance solutions to close the urban climate finance gap.
• Collaboration: CCFLA fosters connections and cooperation among Members engaged in scaling investments in urban climate infrastructure.
• Advocacy: CCFLA uses its expertise to inform international discussions and amplify messages from our members on the main climate forums.

Over the past five years, CPI’s work in the urban and urban infrastructure sectors has experienced significant growth. As part of our key priorities, we’re launching workstreams related to urban adaptation and resilience finance, private sector, and public finance and national governments, aimed at catalysing investment in urban climate finance.

To ensure the success of these endeavours, we are seeking an individual who can contribute to shaping and supporting the production of vital deliverables under these workstreams and more broadly across CCFLA, advancing our mission to address climate challenges within urban environments.
