Climate risk and access to goods and services were geospatially mapped; @c40cities & WRI India’s Inclusive Planning guide was used to conduct inclusivity analysis for all action tracks, and incorporate inclusive monitoring and key performance indicators. (3/4)

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

Unpacking #MumbaiClimateActionPlan | Key Features: MCAP is framed as a policy document, with an evidence-based approach, to plan and mobilize resources for action plans & strategic projects. The approach adopted is science-based, inclusive and consultative (1/4)

BAU scenario is when no actions are taken; Existing and Planned scenario accounts for existing city, regional or national actions and policies and programs to reduce emissions; and Ambitious scenario is modelled to set the most ‘ambitious yet achievable’ trajectory. (2/3)

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

Unpacking #MumbaiClimateActionPlan | Future Emission Scenarios: In a Business-as-Usual scenario, emissions are expected to increase by 170%, in Existing & Planned scenario rise by 119.4%, while in the Ambitious scenario emissions would reduce by 27% by 2030 and 72% by 2050 (1/3)

Unpacking #MumbaiClimateActionPlan | Emission Profile: The Carbon & Land Use Assessment helps calculate carbon removal from forest, mangroves & trees. From 2016-21 1.73 lakh tonnes of CO2/year were removed, while 4581 tonnes of CO2/year were emitted due to loss of cover. (1/2)

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

Unpacking #MumbaiClimateActionPlan | Emission Profile: The GHG Inventory includes an analysis of sectors and sources that emit CO2, CH4 and N20 and sinks that absorb (or sequester) carbon from the atmosphere. Electricity consumption accounts for 64.3% of Mumbai’s emissions(1/2)

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

Unpacking #MumbaiClimateActionPlan | Climate Risk & Vulnerability: Geographically, Mumbai is predisposed to the risk of storm surge & high intensity rainfall events. Built on reclaimed land, the city's vulnerability to annual flooding events is exacerbated. #MCAP (1/2)

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

Unpacking #MumbaiClimateActionPlan (4) |Climate Risk & Vulnerability: Mumbai faces a growing risk of landslides due to increase in high intensity rainfall events. Settlements with temporary structures on unstable slopes & at foothills are the most vulnerable. #ClimateChange (1/2)
