We are supporting partner countries in low-carbon and green urban development and the expansion of green infrastructure. We have created the largest fund for urban climate finance with the City Climate Finance Gap Fund, which has a total finance volume of over €100 million.

• With the City Climate Finance Gap Fund, Germany is supporting cities in partner countries with early-stage preparations for climate investment. Germany is contributing a total of €90 million (of an overall investment volume of €100 million).

• With its focus on early-stage project preparation, the Gap Fund supplements the C40 Cities Finance Facility (CFF). The CFF enables city administrations in developing countries and emerging economies to develop climate-friendly and green infrastructure projects and to tap financing options. We are increasing focusing on Nature-based Solutions.
