CLI use cases

Learning from experience in the field

Working with concrete use cases that show real life applications of digital innovation to drive climate action is one of CLI's main pillars.

CLI use cases provide digital innovations, with a strong climate impact. They are based on solid concepts, robust partnerships and allow for the systematic extraction of learnings for the benefit of other practitioners in the field, technology developers and policymakers. For some use case partners, in particular those working in developing countries, CLI has provided limited funds for activities such as approving concepts, road testing, implementation, outreach and exchange of learnings with peers and policymakers.

In the following, we provide an overview of past and current use cases with CLI support.
