3Ci works with local and national government, industry and finance partners to create the market for Net Zero investment. Our work has demonstrated that convening these partners will stimulate innovation and new approaches to financing and accelerate implementation on the ground.

3Ci is developing innovative financing models alongside a programme of technical assistance for cities and regions that will:

• Drive additional private investment into local Net Zero programmes at scale (approx. £200 billion for the founding partners alone);
• Build a pipeline of new projects, bringing them to the market at a high level of investment readiness;
• Boost local capacity to assemble and deliver projects, allowing them to be scaled;
• Create new financial partnerships with fund managers and banks, enabling them to invest with confidence in local Net Zero projects;
• Operate across multiple asset classes in an integrated, place-based manner.
