CLIMATE CENTRE FOR CITIES
The COVID19 experience has shown us that effective
leadership, empowered local governments and a participatory
multi-stakeholder approach can play a key role in managing
crises and strengthening the resilience of our communities.
This Framework will pave the way for unlocking this potential
to catalyze and amplify India’s climate response that is driven
and led by Cities.

Hardeep Singh Puri
Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge),
Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs
I strongly believe this assessment will play a significant role in
incentivizing a holistic and climate responsive urban
development approach in India. It will help scale up the
ongoing initiatives and nudge cities towards undertaking
transformative climate actions.

Durga Shanker Mishra
Secretary, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs
Cities of today need to constantly evolve and be resilient
and responsive to disruptions –technological, environmental
and socio-cultural - to be able to thrive economically and
provide quality living to its residents. The Assessment
Framework is an effort in this direction. I congratulate all
cities for the successful completion of this extremely
important initiative.

Kunal Kumar
Joint Secretary & Mission Director (SCM),
Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs
Initiating and sustaining cohesive climate action in
urban India requires intensive capacity building of cities,
availability of urban and climate data for informed
decision-making, robust research and innovation, knowledge
sharing and partnerships to leverage the available skills and
resources towards meeting these goals. The assessment
will help cities strengthen themselves on these fronts to
be able to prepare for and have the ability to thrive
despite a changing climate.

Hitesh Vaidya
Director, National Institute of Urban Affairs
