Indore city resilience strategy for changing climatic scenarios
The issue of climate change is cross-cutting, it has a potential to affect a number of sectors augmenting the growth of the city. Risk and vulnerability assessment was conducted for the city in consultation with Indore City Advisory Committee (CAC), Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), academic institutions, private sectors and community. Sector studies were undertaken to determine the degree to which existing systems can adjust in response to, or in anticipation of, changed climatic conditions. The assessment results supported in framing an integrated resilience approach for the city of Indore to deal with climate variability and climate change has been developed. City Resilience Strategy (CRS) for Indore has been informed on the basis of the assessment studies & aims to reduce the impacts of climate change by identifying sectors, communities most vulnerable to the climate variability & climate change risks and by suggesting resilience measures.
