In 2015, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities and C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, funded by the Citi Foundation, teamed up for a new partnership to leverage the expertise of our three organizations – WRI’s analytical and research competencies and long-term engagement with cities, the high-level connection with city leaders of C40 and the Citi Foundation’s urban economic progress agenda. The Financing Sustainable Cities Initiative (FSCI) combines knowledge sharing between cities and investors, on-the-ground technical assistance to cities, and an online platform to scale investments in urban infrastructure and services that produce local improvements in people’s lives and global sustainability benefits.
