Mainstreaming Climate Resilience in Urban Development: Policy Landscape for Urban Climate Resilience
IRADe reviewed the approach and work related to ACCCRN, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, from policy perspective and supported assessment of vulnerabilities due to disasters such as floods and droughts and developed climate resilience strategies for three cities, namely Gorakhpur, Surat and Indore. IRADe identified the opportunities to orient urban development programmes in order to promote city level climate resilience.
The lessons from these are brought to national level and the city governments are also apprised of the relevant opportunities offered by the central government. IRADe suggested that an integrated policy framework and co-ordinated decision making are needed at the national, state and city levels.
