Climate investment planning guidance

The guidance outlines a model for achieving climate-neutral cities by 2030 through 'climate city contracts' that align municipalities, businesses, academia, and civil society. It emphasizes that achieving climate neutrality requires substantial funding for replacing or upgrading assets, which can be managed through iterative climate action and investment plans that pool resources and redirect public and civic capital.

• Viable Cities utilizes 'climate city contracts' as a primary tool to align diverse stakeholders—including municipalities, business, academia, and civil society—around a commitment to climate neutrality and a corresponding action and investment plan.
• Achieving city-level climate neutrality requires significant funding to replace, refurbish, and upgrade assets owned by various actors, necessitating collaboration to align goals and pool financial resources.
• Climate action and investment plans are developed through iterative processes that link city goals with the willingness of actors to provide capital, potentially including the redirection of public and civic capital from existing business operations.
