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
CFCB Bottom-Up Top-Down Approach
CFCB as a bottom-up learning-by-doing approach:
– Assisting with development of concrete Carbon Finance projects
– Establishing a nucleus institutional body of capacity within the city
administration that can manage Carbon Finance together with a

– Involve and commit high-level policy makers in encouraging the
city to use Carbon Finance for city development
