Five Cities to Fast-Track Climate and Infrastructure Innovation at No Cost

Leading Cities, in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative, has launched AcceliGOV, a program offering five fully funded pilot projects for municipalities worldwide. Selected cities will be able to deploy proven climate and infrastructure solutions in approximately 90 days, avoiding the lengthy and costly traditional RFP process. Each pilot, valued between $50,000 and $100,000, includes implementation support, training, and requires minimal staff time.

The ready-to-deploy solutions address key municipal challenges such as shoreline erosion, flood risk identification, water system leak detection, accessibility improvements, and sustainable mobility for women in the Middle East and North Africa. Applications close on June 14, 2026, with project deployments beginning in the third quarter of 2026.
