The Local Climate Solutions for Africa (LoCS4Africa) 2020 Virtual Congress was the first of its kind on the continent. Leading the way in taking congresses fully online during the height of the pandemic, the congress supported city officials to keep climate action momentum going during this difficult time by facilitating the conversations that matter.
The congress responded to the growing acknowledgement worldwide that, to tackle climate change, cityscale finance must be mobilised. Local finance will give subnational actors access to the resources they need to respond effectively to climate change impacts that manifest at the local level, and harness the emission reduction potential in cities.
