The Path to Net Zero: Three Steps for Effective Community Engagement
Empowering local authorities with the tools to foster effective community engagement and create impactful net zero initiatives.
From 2021 to 2025, the Cities Commission for Climate Investment (3Ci) was a partnership between Connected Places Catapult, Core Cities UK, London Councils, Key Cities, the Scottish Cities Alliance, and other local authorities across the UK.
3Ci's purpose was to support local authorities in securing the long-term finance required to achieve net zero. By bringing together local authorities, investors, and businesses, 3Ci developed innovative investment models and helped mobilise large-scale capital for decarbonisation. Its mission was to create investable propositions that deliver carbon reduction, resilience, and community benefit across the UK.
