Sino-Swiss Low Carbon Cities (SSLCC)
for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
Building Bridges for Climate-Friendly Cities
Project
Chinese metropolitan regions are growing rapidly—and with them, environmental challenges. High CO₂ emissions, rising resource consumption, and the consequences of rapid urbanization call for new approaches. At the same time, there is great potential to share Swiss expertise in energy efficiency and environmental technologies on the international stage.
In the “Sino-Swiss Low Carbon Cities” (SSLCC) project, generis established cooperation platforms between Swiss and Chinese partners. Together with cities, government agencies, companies, and universities, the project developed strategies, pilot projects, and practical innovation formats for low-carbon urban development. Generis handled international project coordination, drove network-building efforts, and developed sustainable cooperation models.
The result: concrete knowledge and technology transfer, pilot projects implemented in several Chinese cities, and long-term partnerships in the fields of energy, the environment, and innovation. SSLCC raised international awareness of Swiss expertise in sustainable urban development.
