Background and Objectives
To decarbonize the world, it is essential that cities, which account for about 70% of GHG emissions and energy consumption, make the transition to decarbonization.
The Ministry of the Environment and JICA launched C2P2 in February 2023 to provide broad-based collaborative support for the challenges faced by cities around the world. With the participation of Japanese local governments, private companies, financial institutions, and others, and in collaboration with MDBs and other organizations, C2P2 aims to provide comprehensive support for urban challenges.
