Description

Description The TAP managed by ICLEI aims to raise local and regional climate ambitions as well as to accelerate the implementation of transformative local climate actions.
Objectives Led by ICLEI, the TAP was first launched in 2015 with the goal to catalyze and improve capital flows to cities, towns, and regions and strengthen the capacity of local and regional governments to access climate finance and attract investment.

Furthermore, showing the demand and diversity of local projects, TAP contributes to raise awareness and advocates closing the gap between the availability and the accessibility of climate funds by subnational governments.

Activities As of 2019, the TAP pipeline has 45 projects with an identified investment need of 2.5 billion euro.

TAP is a partnership of many organizations committed to the TAP objectives, each contributing in a specific way, defined by the respective partners, in consultation with ICLEI. The ICLEI World Secretariat (ICLEI WS) maintains and develops new partnerships. These include public and private finance institutions, governments at all levels, United Nations and technical support agencies, city and subnational networks, associations, research and other non-governmental organisations, philanthropic foundations, and initiatives. Partners involved technically and/or financially build up a value chain supporting each step of the project cycle. TAP partners as of November 2019 are: ● UN-Habitat, ● GIZ/FELICITY ● GIZ/CoM SSAIII ● Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB) Foundation, ● Global Fund for Cities Development (FMDV), ● European Investment Bank (EIB), ● R20 Regions of Climate Action (R20), ● Sustainable Infrastructure Foundation (SIF), ● C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40), ● Cities Alliance.

Projects received from local and regional governments go through a basic screening focusing on completeness and transformative approach and if fulfill, can benefit from tailored services offered by ICLEI and the TAP partners to guide project development and achieve maturity and financeability

One or two success stories achieved In the past five years, at least 23 TAP projects were successfully financed and implemented. In addition, many more were connected to financial institutions and partners while receiving attention at international events (e.g at the climate COPs, Resilient Cities Global Forum, etc.).
