CLIC aimed to support cities in developing countries to plan for, and implement, ambitious climate actions. It provided technical assistance to 15 megacities in Asia and South America to develop climate action plans consistent with the Paris Agreement. It supported 10 -12 cities develop investable business cases for climate action through the C40 Cities Finance Facility (CFF) and shared good practices, learning and knowledge with cities across the world, and facilitated funds for a global research and national advocacy component (in China and Mexico) to help remove barriers to city action.
We undertook formative evaluation of the governance structure, performance evaluation of delivery partners and impact evaluation of the CLIC programme’s effectiveness in achieving direct outputs and progress towards medium term objectives, including an assessment of the likelihood of transformational change.
