Welcome to 3Ci
3Ci is an innovative collaboration of local
government and the private sector.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support local authorities in securing the necessary long-term finance for achieving net zero.
Our place-based experience and ability to convene government and financial institutions makes us perfectly placed to help deliver that investment, urgently.
Net Zero
We are creating a wider partnership, including UK Government, Innovate UK, Metro Mayors, Combined Authorities, Scottish and Key Cities, Counties and Districts and a growing league of private investors, financiers, advisors, developers and built environment technology professionals.
Achieving net zero is an urgent global challenge and government investment alone is not enough to achieve the transformation we need across our homes, businesses and infrastructure; enabling private investment will be critical.
3Ci, The Cities Commission for Climate Investment, is an innovative collaboration of local government and the private sector. Our mission is to support local authorities in securing the necessary long-term finance for achieving net zero.
3Ci is working to leverage the combined scale of cities and regions to mobilise finance and drive investment into low and net zero carbon projects across all local areas together, rather than individual ones. We believe this is the key to unlocking the investment so urgently needed.
Our place-based experience and ability to convene government, community, industry and financial institutions, makes us perfectly placed to help deliver the investment needed to get cities and regions to net zero – and get there fast.
