The Climate Centre for Cities has established a secretariat for the Climate Alliance partners to strengthen the engagement with a range of stakeholders and institutions for cohesive and collaborative initiatives towards mainstreaming climate resilience in the urban discourse in India. These strategic partnerships will bring together the diverse skills, strengths and resources for implementing projects, sharing knowledge & good practices, and scaling up transformative action to address the climate risks in Indian cities.
River Cities Alliance (RCA) is a first-of-its-kind dedicated platform for river cities in India to ideate, discuss and exchange information for sustainable management of urban rivers. To begin with, 30 cities from 11 States have been included in the Alliance. NIUA and NMCG will serve as the Secretariat for the RCA initially, until the Alliance evolves to become a fully city-led movement.
