¿Qué financia esta convocatoria?
Scope
The call expands whole-city transformation activities by addressing implementation barriers shared by Mission Cities. Support is organised around clearly defined systemic barriers rather than broad domains, in six challenge areas:
- Place-based heating and cooling
- Nature-based solutions at city scale
- Urban energy systems
- City finance innovation for climate neutrality
- Large-scale building retrofits and renovations
- Decarbonising urban mobility and logistics
Applicants choose one challenge area and set out a context-specific impact pathway following the call's impact framework.
Expected outcomes
Cities should be able to deploy and scale climate-neutral solutions by tackling institutional, policy, financial, governance, market or social bottlenecks; embed research and evidence into city decision-making; build lasting capacities; and develop collaborative governance and citizen engagement models that deliver just transition outcomes.
Eligible activities
- Pioneering activities that adapt, test or deploy innovative or enabling solutions at city level
- Systemic, science-based initiatives linking research and evidence with city delivery
- Capacity and capability building within city administrations and local actors
- Collaborative governance and community-building activities
Funding and evaluation
Support is a cascading grant reimbursed on actual costs. Proposals pass an eligibility check, are scored by at least two independent experts on mandate to act, capacity to act and impact, and are then selected as a portfolio. A letter of support from the mayor or equivalent is mandatory for each city.
