Mashup Score: 3After COP28: The implications for India’s cities and vulnerable communities - Question of Cities - 4 month(s) ago
For the millions in India’s cities, the recently-concluded annual climate summit, or COP28, appears inconsequential and detached from their lived realities of heat waves, bitter cold, and unprecedented rainfall. The urban poor and marginalised communities find themselves on the periphery of such global and national discussions on climate change. However, India stands at a pivotal moment to adopt a proactive role in climate leadership in cities, especially in the Global South. The government can further decentralise climate action to cities, document and quantify the climate impact on the urban poor, and acknowledge that informality in work and housing are key aspects of cities rather than see them as violations and encroachments.
