India's ClimateSmart Cities Assessment Framework
This webinar showcases India's innovative ClimateSmart Cities Assessment Framework, launched in 2019 to support cities in evaluating their development strategies from a climate lens.
Speakers at the UrbanShift India webinar, hosted by ICLEI
To support the achievement of national goals under the Paris Agreement and enable climate-resilient urban development, the Indian Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has launched a pioneering initiative called the “ClimateSmart Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF),” covering more than 130 cities across the country. The CSCAF’s objective is to provide cities with a mechanism for setting a baseline and developing a roadmap to tackle climate change. What can cities elsewhere learn from this example?
Join us as we continue the UrbanShift webinar series with this important discussion on how cities are mainstreaming climate action within urban development activities while advancing smart city strategies.
