Introduction

Sino-German Urbanisation Partnership

The Sino-German Urbanisation Partnership is a joint initiative of the governments of Germany and China, aimed at addressing the economic, social, and environmental challenges created by fast-paced urbanisation processes and climate change in both countries. The partnership is working to influence political dialogue and create platforms for cross-city and institutional exchange of experiences, facilitate knowledge exchange and promote capacity building that can drive the development of joint solutions to these challenges. Key targets of the exchange are to reduce CO2 emissions, promote a more balanced urbanisation development process and improve quality of life in cities in both China and Germany.

The initiative also encourages other stakeholders working in the field to join the partnership and organise activities that promote progress towards these key targets.

Goal and Activities

Political Dialogue

The Sino-German Urbanisation Partnership (SGUP) supports the German-Chinese political dialogue on urbanisation seeking to positively influence environmental policy-making and ensure smooth policy implementation.

In this context, we provide capacity training for German and Chinese officials, municipal actors, urban planners, developers, and other relevant stakeholders. Our work supports the exchange of experiences, best practices and expertise between cities and provinces of the two countries on issues related to integrated and sustainable urban development. We work in a range of sectors relevant for urbanisation, and encourage stakeholders to approach the partnership to collaborate on related topics.

KNOWLEDGE

The main objective of the Sino-German Urbanisation Partnership is to promote knowledge exchange between experts.

The partnership is committed to promoting platforms for open sharing of information between stakeholders working in the field of sustainable urbanisation. To realise this objective we actively share scientific studies and publications within our fields of work, and encourage and support researchers in the urban sector to work more closely with us. We also harness our online presence to share information with our diverse audiences in both China and Germany. Through our website, social media channels, and bi-monthly newsletter, we share the latest and most relevant news focused on urban development taking place in both countries. Become part of this network and share your knowledge with us!

    Climate Finance for Low-Carbon Urban Infrastructure in China——Study by SGUP and FELICITY

    Financing is critical to enable cities to invest in low-carbon urban infrastructure.

    To show how climate finance can help enable sustainable urban development in China, this paper begins by taking stock of city climate policies, the status of financing for low-carbon urban development, and current financial instruments available. The study then analyzes the gaps and barriers that Chinese cities confront and makes recommendations on how to mobilize climate finance resources for sustainable urban infrastructure in China.
