IMPACT ON CLIMATE ACTION
Championing Local Action
First country to do a nationwide climate assessment impacting approx. 140 million people (~1/3rd of urban population)
Demonstrating Global Leadership
Assessment framework linked with national and international framework and goals
Fostering Incremental Impacts
Development stage indicators to provide guidance for enabling climate actions within ongoing activities
INTRODUCTION TO THEMES
The CSCAF 2.0 has five themes that capture both mitigation and adaptation aspects of various sectors in a city. The themes have varying weightages in the assessment based on their contribution to GHG emissions. The five themes of CSCAF are:
1. Urban Planning, Greencover and Biodiversity
2. Energy and Green Buildings
3. Mobility and Air Quality
4. Water Management
5. Waste Management
SUMMARY
The CSCAF 2.0 assessment indicates that cities have been able to showcase considerable progress since the first assessment conducted in 2019. Significant progress has been reported specifically in the themes of urban planning, green cover and biodiversity; energy and green buildings; and waste management. This year, a considerable number of cities have progressed to the performance level of Two Stars by documenting data and initiating assessment studies that can inform developing action plans. Cities progressing to the performance level of Three Stars have been able to establish institutional mechanisms for taking up relevant climate actions and have progressed to initiate the preparation of action plans. 9 cities have made good progress by implementing some of the identified climate initiatives and have moved to the performance level of Four Stars.
