This chapter focuses on the transnational networks that connect cities and facilitate their sharing of best practices, the articulation of environmental norms, and the development of standards. It is within these networks that one observes the intertwined connections between cities and global (or regional) organizations, between local practices and global norms. Most of the literature on transnational city networks tends to focus on experiences in the Global North. This chapter seeks to fill a gap in the literature by drawing more on examples from Asia. The focus on Asia is meaningful because the region is home to 54% of the world’s projected 2050 population and responsible for nearly 40% of global energy consumption by 2040. It is vital for Asia to tackle its urban sustainability challenges, and therefore valuable for us to better understand the role that TMNs play in Asian environmental governance.
