US-EIN-900634376-UCAPCAIFY4 C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group Inc The UCAP Climate Action Implementation Programme supports 15 cities across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia to implement climate projects that reduce emissions, create jobs, improve public services, and benefit communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Led by C40 Cities and funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the programme provides technical assistance, capacity building, and peer learning. Cities receive support to design policies, engage stakeholders, access finance, and overcome the practical barriers that slow implementation. C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group Inc.
