Climate Resilient Urban Development: Vulnerability Profiles of 20 Indian Cities
The study developed climate vulnerability profiles for 20 JNNURM cities. This is to assess the climate change induced risk of the cities including various hazards such as cyclones, storms, floods and droughts in the context of climate change and infrastructure needed for resilience. This is also to understand city level vulnerability in terms of socio-economic dimensions and nature of actions needed. This will help in raising awareness at various levels.
A coherent set of urban resilience measures were assessed, which merged with the ongoing natural hazard risk reduction and urban renewal interventions, minimizing the impacts of climate change on the cities and their inhabitants. IRADe staff conducted secondary survey, primary surveys, assessment study and provided analytical support.
