Climate Centre for Cities

NIUA highlighted the importance of cities in addressing climate change at the COP 27 events, from 6-20 November 2022 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

COP27 brought together 45,000 climate practitioners from across the globe to share their ideas, ambitions, and solutions to build collaborations and partnerships to fast-track change. Overall, the adaptation aspect took the center stage, bringing a range of solutions, finance and capacity to the vulnerable countries across the world.

The conference led to the development of the first of its kind global stocktake to improve the resilience for the most vulnerable with pledges totaling USD 230 million. Further, the Sharm el-Sheikh implementation plan highlighted that the transformation of the low carbon economy for the world would require a minimum investment of USD 4-6 trillion a year.

...

According to the IPCC Summary for Urban Policymakers, cities emit more than 3/4th global GHG while generating 2/3rd of the economic output. All the cities are not going to be equally affected by climate change but all of them will require an extensive adaptation action to develop resilient urban areas and cities.

The Union Minister (MoEFCC), Bhupendra Yadav launched the Long Term- Low Emissions Development Strategy for India. NIUA lead the Task Group 3 for this report and contributed to the report submitted to UNFCCC on behalf of India.

Hitesh Vaidya, Director, NIUA, also participated in the 'Implementation Lab: Actionable Adaptation Plans' organised by the High-Level Champions and Marrakesh Partnership on the Solutions Day (17 November 2022) for achieving evidence-based, actionable adaptation plans as part of a robust transition in cities, states and regional governments towards building adaptation and resilience from the local level. He showcased the results of ClimateSmart Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF) and positioned it as a framework for the global south for developing mitigation and adaptation action on the ground.

Dr Umamaheshwaran Rajasekar, C-Cube, NIUA participated in 9 plenary sessions, showcasing its work on the CSCAF to bring the governance and processes to consider climate change in their day-to-day activities. the scaling up process across Indian cities was highlighted, including the supporting capacity building of staff to connect their day-to-day work with the climate actions.

90 percent of child bearing in developing countries between the ages 10 to 19 years occur due to child marriages.
Complications related to childbearing are the leading cause of mortality among adolescent girls aged 15-19 worldwide.
Though there has been gradual decline, current levels of child marriage and unmet need for family planning is high for South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
There is a significant level of association between child marriages and unmet need for family planning. 1-unit increase in child marriage is associated with 0.09 to 0.16 units increase in unmet need for any contraception and 0.04 to 0.24 units increase in unmet need for modern contraception.
