Climate Resilient Urban Development

– Evidence base for climate resilient urban development

– City planning and urban service provision/rejuvenation as entry points for climate action

US$ 1.2 trillion in capital investment required

over the next 20 years to meet urban services

demand

Equivalent to $134 per capita per year, almost eight times the

level of spending today1

2016-2019

Strengthen the capacities of Indian cities to identify, plan andimplement measures for achieving lower greenhouse gasemissions growth path and enhancing resilience to climatechange in an integrated manner.

Support Measures

CapaCITIES Framework

• Quick wins • Bankable Projects • Policy

Recommendations

Capa‘CITIES’ Project Cities

Planned Outcomes

• Capacities of city authorities in four partner cities to plan and implement mitigation and adaptation measures are enhanced• Develop climate science enabled support tools for city level planning,

for current and future climate scenarios and for low carbon and climate resilient city action plans

• Implement city level climate change mitigation measures for key sectors (buildings, transport/mobility and solid waste/sewage)

• Quick-win project implementation and development of bankable projects

• Implement city level climate change adaptation measures for key sectors (particularly in water sector)

• Quick-win project implementation and development of bankable projects

• Strengthen knowledge exchange and communication among key stakeholders in cities

City Climate Action Plan

• Climate Adaptive Cities Planning Tool• Integrated planning tool for city level climate mitigation & adaptation

(based on ICLEI-ACCCRN Process & GreenClimateCities methodology), consisting of a series of sequential steps and related tools, following the Analyze, Act & Accelerate cycle

• Harmonized Emissions Analysis Tool plus• Global Protocol for Community Scale GHG Emissions (GPC) compatible

GHG emissions inventory software tool to develop baseline GHG emissions from local government operations and economy wide activiieis within the city jurisdiction

• Compendium of climate actions• A compendium of relevant mitigation and adaptation based solutions

(planning, policy and actions) to steer the development of a city climate action plan

Water & Wastewater

• Inadequate water supply: quality and quantity

• Non-revenue water

• No focus on local water resources –conservation & augmentation

• Effective planning of STPs vis-à-vis collection network

• Efficiency of existing STPs

• Reuse of treated wastewater

Coimbatore

• Water quality improvement in lakes & waste water treatment efficiency

Rajkot

• Integrated water resource management

• GHG mitigation from anaerobic treatment

Siliguri

• Water leak detection & NRW management - policy recommendations

Udaipur

• Faecal sludge management & wastewater treatment plant efficiency

• AMRUT

• NDC Focus on:

• promotion and regulation of efficient use of water

• impetus to watershed development

Transport

• Traffic congestion & resultant air pollution

• Last mile connectivity issues

• IPT policy • Public transport

policy and procurement

• Infrastructure for electric mobility

• Design for eco-mobility: bike –share programmes, cycle tracks, pedestrianization

Rajkot

• Electrification of BRT corridor

• IPT for last mile connectivity along the BRT corridor

• Air pollution monitoring

Siliguri

• Scope and design for traffic junction design and improvement

• Feasibility for rail based mass transport

• Air pollution monitoring

Udaipur

• Developing Low Carbon IPT Action plan for Udaipur

• Operationalizing electric rickshaws, demonstrating their benefits

• Policy for IPT

• Air pollution monitoring

• National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020

• 100% electric car fleet by 2030

Solid Waste Management

• Segregated collection & transport not achieved

• Waste processing/treatment not effective in most cities

• Strategic plan/action plan for SWM to be defined, though CSPs are available

• Issues with Waste to Energy

Coimbatore

• Decentralised municipal solid waste management in 2 wards: “SUNYA” – IEC & pilot implementation

• Closure of dumpsite – advisory services

• Strategic direction & SWM action plan for CCMC

Siliguri

• Decentralised municipal solid waste management in 2 wards: “SUNYA”

• Closure of dumpsite –technical support

Udaipur

• Decentralised municipal solid waste management in 2 wards: “SUNYA”

• Closure of dumpsite –technical support

• Swachh Bharat Mission: enabling environment for private sector

participation in CAPEX & OPEX

• SBM: INR 62,009 Crore (9540 million USD), grant of INR 14623

crore (2250 million USD)

Buildings• Energy efficiency

measures in municipal service delivery: street lighting, water & wastewater pumping , building energy efficiency

• Implementation models for large scale solar in residential/commercial buildings

• Local bye-laws for green buildings/energy efficient buildings

Rajkot

• Study on energy efficiency in social housing – pilot project to provide energy efficient fixtures in one social housing complex and solar PV system

• Nationwide Campaign for Energy Conservation: target to save

10% of current energy consumption by the year 2018-19

• National Solar Mission: 100 GW by 2022

Learning from CapaCITIES

• Urban development: An opportunity to address climate change

• Limited, but increasing understanding of climate change in cities –opportunity to build capacities to link regular urban planning and implementation to climate resilience

• Embedding climate change concepts into the big ticket programs –as a means of financing for climate change

• Innovative financing mechanisms: municipal bonds, green-bonds, international financing

• Confirmed interest of cities in adopting non-traditional financing mechanisms – rent a roof schemes, FiT mechanisms, ESCO, EPC, land monetization, PPP …

• Technical assistance for preparation of tender documentation and project financing required

• Showcase projects and planning appreciated and required to build capacities and experience in cities
