This course introduces climate budgeting as a powerful governance tool to align city budgets with climate goals. It presents a clear framework and a step-by-step implementation guide developed by C40 Cities, equipping leaders in government to mainstream climate into financial decision-making at scale.

Through global case studies and lessons from peers, you’ll explore what climate budgeting looks like in practice and what it takes to do it well. The course supports you to lead with confidence and take strategic next steps to start or strengthen climate budgeting.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Analyse global case studies and apply C40 Cities’ Climate Budgeting Framework and Step-by-Step Guide to identify relevant lessons and approaches for embedding climate budgeting.
Plan strategic next steps for your team or organisation to initiate, scale or strengthen climate budgeting efforts effectively.
