Action towards Resource-efficient and
Low Carbon Cities in Asia
http://lcc.ait.asia/index.php
Outline
• Objectives
• Major Activities
• Territorial Climate and Energy Plan and
Bilan CarboneTM
• Partnership and Collaboration
• Expected Outputs
Objectives of the Project
• To assist a number of small
and medium cities of Asia in
their efforts towards low
carbon society through
improved resource efficiency
and environmental
sustainability.
• To strengthen capacity of city
authorities and other
stakeholders (in selected
cities) in climate change
mitigation and adaptation.
Agenda 21
Climate Plan
Carbon balance
Planned Activities
• Training urban authorities and relevant stakeholders
on Territorial Climate and Energy Plan (TCEP) and
“Bilan CarboneTM” and their applicability to small and
medium-size cities in Asia;
• Assisting cities to develop emission factors specific to
their region to improve carbon emissions assessment;
• Research support to develop TCEPs that ensure costeffectiveness and promote inclusive growth
• Identifying and conducting pilot activities in selected
cities that demonstrate the above; and
• Information dissemination among a wider spectrum
of cities.
Potential priorities for the cities
Energy produced
and consumed by
local authorities
and territory users
Urbanisation, town
and country
planning and
construction
Agriculture,
forest, green spaces
and biodiversity
management
Waste reduction and
disposal
Transportation and
mobility
Production and
consumption modes
Territorial
economy
Objectives of Advisory Group Meeting
• To explore synergies between AIT’s project
with on-going Regional and International
Low Carbon City Initiatives
• To obtain inputs from experts on
– short-listing and selecting pilot cities
– mobilization of resources and sharing of
responsibilities
– networking
Territorial Climate and Energy Plan (TCEP)
and Bilan Carbone™ Approach
To assist companies, administrations and local
authorities in their pursuit of fighting against
climate change, the French Environment and
Energy Management Agency (ADEME) has
developed methodologies and tools –
Territorial Climate and Energy Plan (TCEP) and
Bilan Carbone™.
Territorial Climate and Energy Plan (TCEP)
 Develop action plans based on the identified
paths and their policies related to urban planning
and management, transport, housing, etc.
 Mitigate GHG emissions and reduce the
territories’ vulnerability to climate change
 Share information and mobilize local population
to act towards climate change mitigation and
adaptation
Bilan Carbone™
A tool to assess the direct and indirect GHG
emissions from the different economic activities
of a given territory
Its main goals:
– Assess the dependence on fossil fuels;
– Adopt solutions that anticipate fluctuations in
energy prices; and
– Limit the impact of activities on the climate.

Partnership and Collaboration
Partnership and collaboration among various
stakeholders are essential to achieve the project
goal
• City authorities and its service units,
• NGOs and INGOs,
• Businesses and civil society,
• Donor and others organizations who have
interest in these activities.
Partnership and Collaboration (continued)
• Assist participating cities to carry out the diagnostic
studies in consultation with urban stakeholders to
develop an action plan with specific priorities
• Support to conduct workshops and training programs to
sensitize city authorities towards low carbon initiatives
• Provide inputs/consultation on pilot activities the cities
could implement
• Assist in implementing specific initiatives in the
participating cities
• Disseminate program results and share information
Support from SDCC/AIT - France network for regional workshop and logistics
CITIES Identification
• Small and Medium cities from Asia
• Interest, enthusiasm and commitment
• Inputs from Advisory Group Meeting
Expected outputs of the project
• At least ten small and medium cities
– Capacity developed to use the tools and develop
territorial climate plan and activities that favor
inclusive growth and sustainable consumption
and production
– Various types of pilots initiated and expanded
– Specific activities (e.g. development of emission
factors specific to the region) are completed
Expected outputs of this meeting
• Inputs/suggestions regarding the proposed
action plan of this project
• Suggestions on the identification and
selection of cities (and contacts/links)
• Suggestions on the type and nature of
support and collaboration possible from your
institution/organisation and others
• Other inputs and comments
