Following the successful completion of the first phase implemented across 4 Indian cities; Coimbatore, Rajkot, Siliguri and Udaipur, CapaCITIES Phase-II was launched in 2019 with the overarching goal of mainstreaming climate actions from the cities. A consortium comprising of ICLEI South Asia, South Pole, econcept and NIUA is implementing this project across 4 new cities; Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Tiruchirappalli and Tirunelveli. The CapaCITIES Phase II project engages with national, state and city level governments, to enhance capacities of select Indian cities to plan and implement climate resilience actions by mainstreaming and integrating climate actions (adaptation and mitigation) into urban planning processes. The project is also supporting the city and state governments to access finance for scaling up the urban climate actions and will enhance knowledge on accelerating city climate action at the national and global level through its knowledge sharing, peer learning and capacity building activities.
