CCFLA plays a crucial role in bringing together different actors working on closing the investment gap for climate action in cities… the first sub-national forum in Mexico, organized by ICLEI and FMDV, strengthened the collaboration not only between CCFLA members globally and locally, but enhanced coordination of national and international organizations, as well as all levels of government - including city officials in the country - towards developing bankable projects. This is why we engage here!

Being part of CCFLA has been a valuable engagement that has allowed us to work towards demystifying the complexities around financing climate-smart urban infrastructure projects for our mayors and cities. As the co-chair of CCFLA’s Enabling Frameworks Action Group, GCoM has been able to connect with like-minded institutions, discuss common challenges, and improve policy frameworks around cities’ ability to access much-needed climate finance.

CDP serves on the Steering Committee for CCFLA and through our participation in the Project Preparation Action Group and Financial Toolbox Action Groups we have found numerous opportunities to partner with other organizations who have a shared mission to accelerate financing climate action in cities. CCFLA serves a critical need – it bridges organizations and people with common purpose and catalyzes new ways of working and initiative that finance city climate action. The collective organizing efforts in CCFLA are supporting us on the journey as Cities Race to Zero and Race to Resilience.

…From the lessons that we take from our participation in CCFLA's [Mexico Project Preparation Forum] event, now we know that we must structure our projects in a clear and concise manner, defining the technical-financial aspects, same that will make them viable, but above all, that it is very important to communicate effectively the ends and means to specialized audiences.
