The IUC-Asia program boosts international urban cooperation between EU and Asia cities to find solutions to common problems. The program is part of a long-term EU strategy to foster sustainable urban development among public and private sectors, research institutions, and citizens. It provides an opportunity for cities to learn from each other, set ambitious targets and forge lasting partnerships. Activities support the achievement of policy objectives for major international agreements on urban development and climate change, i.e. the Urban Agenda, Sustainable Development Goals, and Paris Agreement.
