We are a long-standing cross-sectoral community comprising of members from TUEWAS (Transport, Environment, Energy and Water in Asia) and SNGA (Governance in Asia) networks. Our work mainly focuses on the topics of urban climate change and urban governance, namely – smart cities, urban resilience, net-zero cities, innovative climate financing, urban labs, localizing the global goals, capacity development, among others.
Created in 2013, pioneers have been the TUEWAS Cities and Climate Change and the SNGA Urban Opportunities working groups, who have been fruitfully cooperating since 2009. Several bilateral and regional programs are represented in the working group.
Our main goals are onboarding and networking, knowledge management and strategic conversations. We foster joint learning among programs, regional and technical exchange with national and international partners, as well as strengthening the technical and advisory capacities of GIZ staff and partner experts, and work on developing innovative products. We interact through different channels, such as virtual and face-to-face meetings, newsletters, online platforms, and innovative subject related webinars.
