“Introduction of low-carbon technologies in city planning to boost energy efficiency and reduce fossil-fuel use is vital to manage rapidly growing energy consumption in urban areas. We have therefore launched an APEC Low-Carbon Model Town Project to present successful models for coordinated usage of advanced low-carbon technologies.” “We instruct the EWG to establish a Task Force to implement an APEC Low-Carbon Model Town Project. The Low- Carbon Model Town Task Force should develop the concept of a Low-Carbon Town, conduct feasibility studies to encourage creation of low-carbon communities in urban development plans, and share best practices for making such communities a reality.” Background(1): EMM9 Declaration 5

“Low-Carbon Town” ： town, or city, or village which seeks to achieve its target of significantly reducing CO2 emissions, irrespective of its size and characteristics Purpose of developing the Concept of “LCT”: is to provide the central and local government officials with a basic idea on what “a Low-Carbon Town” is and how a Low-Carbon Town should be developed. Meaning of “Low-Carbon Town (LCT)” and Purpose of Developing “LCT” 7
