CSTEP is developing a comprehensive Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Feasibility Framework to enhance urban resilience against climate risks such as flooding, heatwaves, and storms.
In the fight against COVID-19, India announced INR 1.
Climate change increases strain on agriculture systems through changes in the magnitude, distribution, and timing of rainfall; rise in temperature; and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.
Climate resilience is the ability to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, and recover from the effects of a potentially hazardous event.
Climate change will amplify the existing risks and create new risks for natural and socio-economic systems.
The world is urbanising at a rapid pace.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought on unprecedented adversities for rural populations worldwide, endangering livelihoods and causing psycho-social impacts.
We are in a state of climate emergency.
The world is grappling with intensifying climate change — temperatures are rising, weather patterns are changing, and extreme events and natural disasters are becoming frequent.
Any development programme can foster climate adaptation and mitigation benefits; it must also, however, feature self-reflection and system assessments.
Coastal urban ecosystems are under siege from climate change, rapid urbanisation, and environmental degradation.
Climate hazards such as droughts, flood, and cyclones are becoming more severe and frequent, posing a threat to the resilience of renewable energy.
Climate change is a reality and a formidable challenge globally and in India.
The urban population in India—the world’s most populous country—is expected to reach 675 million by 2035 as per the World Cities Report 2022 by UN-Habitat.
This report serves as the primary document that offers a structured methodology for decision-making around nature-based solutions (NbS) in Indian urban coastal regions.
