Sustainable Cities India Program
Recently the World Economic Forum and the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on a jointly designed ‘Sustainable Cities India Program’.
The objective of this program is to create an enabling environment to provide decarbonization solutions in the energy, transport and built environment sectors of cities.
Implementation:
- The World Economic Forum and the NIUA will optimize the Forum’s City Sprint process and toolbox of solutions for decarbonization in the context of five to seven Indian cities over two years.
- The City Sprint process is a series of multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder workshops involving leaders from business, government and civil society – specifically to enable decarbonization through clean electrification and distribution.
- The City Sprint process uses the Toolbox of Solutions.
- It is a digital platform with over 200 examples of clean electrification efficiency and smart infrastructure.
- And for this, case studies of buildings, energy systems and mobility have been studied from more than 110 cities around the world.
