Report 
In 2013, the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) and the Beijing Municipal Government (Beijing) established the “Joint Committee of Exchanges and Cooperation” to promote systematic and pragmatic cooperation between the two capital cities. In 2015, the bilateral partnership expanded into the environmental sphere by creating the Environment Team under the Joint Committee, strengthening cooperation in air quality management and climate governance.
To facilitate policy exchange within this framework, the ICLEI East Asia Secretariat has conducted two rounds of the Seoul-Beijing Bilateral Cooperation Research Projects from 2019 to 2021 and from 2021 to 2022. The first research featured a comparative analysis of the two cities’ overall air quality management. This second report expanded its scope to climate change and carbon-neutrality policies in energy, building, and transport sectors, highlighting the importance of integrated management of air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
