Episode 206: Climate Resilience in Indian Cities

Globally, cities contribute to over 70 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, cities are also very prone to the effects of climate change and the extreme weather events emanating from it. This makes climate resilience and environmental sustainability a foremost issue in urban policy. In this role, cities emerge as spaces of innovation, and across the world we are witnessing newer ideas, policies, technologies and systems being deployed. To discuss these themes in the Indian context, Mr Saeeduddin Faridi, Research Analyst, ISAS is in conversation with Ms Anumita Rouchowdhury, Executive Director of Research and Advocacy, Centre for Science and Environment.
