Background  UCLG ASPAC is one of the Regional Sections of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), an amalgamation of International Union of Local Authorities, United Towns Organization (UTO), and World Association of the Major Metropolises (METROPOLIS). UCLG is a worldwide association, and the only local government organization recognized by the United Nations.

In January 2020, the European Union (EU) and the United Cities and Local Governments Asia Pacific (UCLG ASPAC) launched the Climate Resilient and Inclusive Cities (CRIC) Project to help cities plan and prepare better to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
