City Twinning

A city-level partnership on a specific activity between a North and South cities sharing a similar vision towards the low-carbon and climate-resilient growth. More specifically, the partnership allows:

• (1) North cities to showcase their specific experience at an international stage; and

• (2) South cities to reflect their partner city’s experience in developing a specific carbon finance (climate change) action in their cities.

Objective of City Twinning

• To build skills and share practical knowledge among city managers and other relevant stakeholders in the design and implementation of carbon finance related activities.

• To assist in strengthening relevant city-level institutions to facilitate effective program implementation.

• To support development of mitigation projects in relevant sectors including energy, waste management, construction, water and air pollution control and transportation
