Kolkata Municipal Corporation is currently developing the city’s first climate action plan, with the aspiration to cut greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet the Paris Agreement’s science-based, internationally accepted target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In the current era of climate change, cities across the globe, particularly those with urban poor communities, also face long-term challenges in ensuring the wellbeing of their inhabitants in the face of recurrent disasters. Therefore, effective action must be taken to help people living and working in cities—particularly the poor and vulnerable—to adapt and bounce back better from the climate shocks they encounter.
The Kolkata Climate Action Plan is a step towards developing an evidence-based roadmap for delivering the city’s fair share of emissions cuts while strengthening urban resilience.
