City-to-City Collaboration for Zero-Carbon Society 2020 City-to-City Collaboration for Zero-Carbon Society Programme Background

In response to the adoption of the Paris Agreement carbon options at the time they should be updated. at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the The Ministry of the Environment, Japan has promoted United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change the “City-to-City Collaboration for Low-Carbon Society” (UNFCCC), “zero-carbon development”, which aims to programme since 2013 with the aim of contributing to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has leapfrog development by packaging together the collective started to emerge on a global level, moving a step beyond knowledge and expertise on zero- and low-carbon “low-carbon development”, which aims to keep GHG technologies and policies in Japan for cities in developing emissions low. Even in countries where energy demand countries. In fiscal 2020, when the Paris Agreement is rising as a result of ongoing economic development, entered its implementation phase, the term “zero-carbon there is a need to introduce zero- and low-carbon urban society” was added to the programme’s name, and more infrastructure, facilities and equipment that can be used layers of support are being added with the aim of creating for long periods of time and to promote the replacement this type of society as quickly as possible. of existing facilities and equipment with zero- and low-

Programme Overview

Under this programme’s framework of collaboration promote zero-carbon development in local areas. This between local governments in Japan and cities in programme is expected to lead to the introduction of developing countries (partner cities), Japanese companies equipment and facilities, as well as the development of and municipalities work together with local partners to commercial operations using financial mechanisms (Box identify and conduct feasibility studies on zero-/low-carbon 2) under the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM, Box 1) projects in partner cities, provide assistance in establishing scheme promoted by the Japanese government. systems, train human resources, and raise awareness to

1 Benefits for participating stakeholders

Stakeholders participating in this programme can expect to develop global-minded human resources. Below are to receive a variety of benefits and effects, such as the additional advantages stakeholders may gain from taking City-to-City Collaboration development and expansion of networks both domestically part in this programme. for Zero-Carbon Society and internationally, more visible profiles, and opportunities ●‌Opportunity to establish a foundation for a zero-carbon society to lead to zero-carbon development at an earlier stage ●‌Realisation of co-benefits, such as improvements of the urban environment, and contributions to domestic policies and international agendas Benefits for cities overseas ●‌Creation of business opportunities by encouraging the participation of local companies ●‌Improved and enhanced urban environment to increase the appeal of the city and promote the development of industrial clusters and investment ●‌Opportunities to foster civic pride in residents as they learn about the efforts and actions of local governments and companies

●‌Use of the JCM to enable the introduction of superior zero- and low-carbon technologies at low costs, and as a result, lower electric power and running costs. Companies will also be able to gain management know-how for the technologies Benefits for companies overseas introduced. ●‌Improved corporate brand power as a result of being viewed as a company that is proactive on environmental measures ●‌Potential to acquire new sales channels

●‌Use of their own knowledge to contribute to environmental improvement and development of the domestic policies and international agendas of partner cities ●‌Use of the programme as a menu of support to promote the overseas expansion of local companies Benefits for cities in Japan ●‌Chances to help revitalise the local economy with an increase in the amount of sales by local companies and number of visitors from Japan and abroad ●‌Opportunities to learn about the efforts and actions of local governments and companies to foster a sense of civic pride in residents

Box 1 : What is the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM)?

The Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) is a achieve the GHG emission reduction targets of both framework under which the governments of Japan and countries. The JCM is one of the market mechanisms a partner country agree to work together to reduce/ included in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and remove GHG emissions. Under the JCM, GHG emission contributes to the achievement of the ultimate reductions are quantitatively evaluated to gain a sense objective of the UNFCCC. As of October 2020, Japan of the level of Japan’s support in the introduction of has developed JCM frameworks with 17 countries: superior zero- and low-carbon technologies in the Mongolia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Maldives, Viet partner country (such as technologies and products, Nam, Laos, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Palau, Cambodia, systems, services, infrastructure, etc.). JCM credits Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Myanmar, Thailand, and are issued to both Japan and the partner country to the Philippines.

Box 2 : JCM financial mechanisms: What is the JCM Model Project?

The JCM Model Project scheme is a funding issued according to the amount of emissions reduced mechanism supporting the introduction of superior zero- or removed. Eligible projects receive financial support or low-carbon equipment and facilities in JCM partner for the introduction of facilities and equipment that countries and developing countries where the JCM is use superior zero- and low-carbon technologies. As of expected to be implemented, in order to achieve the October 2020, 172 projects (17 countries) have been reduction and removal of GHG emissions, and measure, adopted and are expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by report and verify (MRV) their impacts. JCM credits are approximately 1.95 million tonnes annually.
