In its first phase, CCI is working with the C40 Large Cities Climate Leadership Group, an association of large cities dedicated to tackling climate change, to develop and implement a range of actions that will accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Responsibilities include: responding to queries about CCI, organizing and often attending meetings, providing research assistance to program teams, and assisting city-based staff with administration and communications support.
