Innovate4Cities identifies and tackles the data, information, and technology gaps that cities and local governments are prioritizing on their climate action journey. If addressed, this knowledge would drive science-based, technology-driven, replicable sustainable action and implementation at the scale the world needs and cities demand.

As GCoM’s city-focused research and innovation initiative, Innovate4Cities also leverages local and regional insights to advocate for increased resources to support innovative solutions, and cultivates cross-sector partnerships critical to meeting – and exceeding – the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Guided by GCoM’s Research and Innovation Technical Working Group, Innovate4Cities encourages alliance partners to contribute, collaborate and co-design projects – involving cities, local governments, and cross-sector stakeholders – to meet the gaps identified in the City Research and Innovation Agenda.
