ITPI journalSummary: Most climate change extreme events occurred globally and in India since the last two
decades, some of these are considered to be globally irreversible. Urban settlements
have been facing the maximum impact of these climate change events. In this paper
it is argued that there is an urgent need for cities to formulate and implement
ambitious and bold climate actions while mainstreaming resilience in urban planning
and governance frameworks. Several critical interventions for building resilience in
Indian cities are proposed including formulation of climate action road maps; setting
up data systems to conduct assessment based on informed decision making; creating
effective institutional and governance mechanisms; mainstreaming urban policy,
development plans and infrastructure investments; and promoting advocacy and
public engagement.
