Regions and cities play a key role in catalysing the green transition, the need for which has been accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing war in Ukraine. However, subnational government budgets are insufficient on their own to finance and fund the scale of climate action needed to transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. There is therefore a crucial need to support subnational governments in mobilising additional public and private climate finance.
