The Cities Mission Climate City Contract (CCC) is a governance innovation tool to help cities collaboratively address their barriers to reaching climate neutrality by 2030.
Cities will need unprecedented amounts of capital to achieve climate neutrality. Mobilising these resources with a clear priority to achieve maximum climate impact and societal co-benefits.
Effective monitoring helps quantify progress of the portfolio of actions implemented, strengthens transparency, legitimacy and assesses the effectiveness of solutions.
Local governments will need to act together with business leaders, knowledge institutions, disruptive innovators, artists, civil society, and citizens, to radically multiply everyone's collective actions.
Governance innovations can enhance the capacity of actors to reach climate neutrality. The better we govern collective action, the faster and fairer the required transformation is achieved.
Social innovation tackles the societal challenges thats is reaching climate-neutrality with a bottom-up, collaborative, holistic and human-centred approach to innovation.
The problems cities face in mitigating and adapting to climate change are complex, rooted in technological, economic, financial, organisational, political, cultural and social systems.
There are a range of technologies and innovative solutions that can be implemented and deployed to cut these emissions on buildings, industry and transport, waste treatment, agriculture and forestry.
