This program was launched in the year 2020 with the motive to actively engage with stakeholders and build projects to support a just transition in cities – one that can tackle climate change.
Working in municipal strengthening, civic participation, and gender, we prioritise sustainability to build resilient cities, recognising the need for investments in the right projects.
We aim to help channelise investments in appropriate projects and sectors to facilitate cities to become resilient to climate change.
Approach
Our high level strategy to achieve this objective is to “strengthen institutions” (state departments and parastatals) in urban infrastructure financing.
We implement this program by research, due process, and capacity building through active engagement with the government to support a just and inclusive transition in cities. We focus on three key projects.
We design a financial framework for public bus transport by working with transport undertakings at State & City level to ideate innovative funding mechanisms and extend support in on-ground implementation.
We build a financial framework for public bus transport with a focus on E-bus financing to facilitate green transitions in the bus based public transport space.
For green economic recovery in cities we help ULBs and states bring relevant green projects to life – to achieve circularity and reduce carbon footprint, with a focus on creating recurring, sustainable jobs for the urban poor.
