The Impact of Providing Technical Assistance on City Climate Action in the Global South

CIFF financed the expansion of the TA program to 30 C40 member cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to support cities in reporting Global Protocol for Community-Scale (GPC) compliant inventories. The GPC reporting framework standardizes climate reporting methodologies, allowing for better tracking of emissions over time and across cities, which could serve as a foundation on which to base climate actions and emission reduction targets, and ultimately mitigate emissions. 

We leveraged our expertise in quantitative research to track emission inventory reporting over time, assess the impact of CIFF’s  TA investment, and contextualize the impacts of the TA within CIFF’s larger strategy to mitigate climate change. We supported CIFF --  from the design stage to the final evaluation -- in translating evidence into insight and offering action-based recommendations to strengthen city-level climate reporting.
