The C40 Adaptation Finance Academy (AFA) for Indian Cities started yesterday, with Ahmedabad hosting eight other cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Surat, Pune, Chennai, Puducherry, Jabalpur, and Bengaluru). In his high-level keynote, the Deputy Municipal Commissioner of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), Mr. Mirant Parikh, welcomed fellow city practitioners and highlighted some of Ahmedabad’s adaptation strategies, including the two projects participants visited later in the day.

Participants rounded off a busy opening day with a site visit to Oxygen Park and Kankaria Lakefront, two key projects in Ahmedabad’s climate adaptation strategy with urban green space, afforestation, and stormwater management components. Lush and biodiverse, Oxygen Park is part of Ahmedabad’s Mission 3 Million Trees initiative; it is expected to serve as the city's "green lung," addressing air quality issues, increasing biodiversity, and expanding green urban space for residents. Kankaria Lakefront is a historical 2.5-kilometer lake that was rejuvenated to provide pedestrianized, recreational, leisure, and contemplative spaces for residents and visitors; it also plays a role in recharging the city’s aquifer. Both spaces are testaments to the AMC’s commitment to the integrated planning approach outlined in its Climate Action Plan.

📗बृहन्मुंबई महानगरपालिकेच्या पर्यावरण आणि वातावरणीय बदल विभागाने मुंबईचा पहिला वातावरणीय अर्थसंकल्प अहवाल तयार केला आहे.

🔷आज जागतिक पर्यावरण दिनाचे औचित्य साधून, अतिरिक्त महानगरपालिका आयुक्त (शहर) डॉ. (श्रीमती) अश्विनी जोशी यांच्या हस्ते बृहन्मुंबई महानगरपालिका मुख्यालयात या अहवालाचे प्रकाशन करण्यात आले.

🔷उपआयुक्त (पर्यावरण आणि वातावरणीय बदल विभाग) श्री. मिनेश पिंपळे, संबंधित विभागाचे अधिकारी, कर्मचारी आदी यावेळी उपस्थित होते.

💪मुंबईतील वातावरणीय बदलाच्या आव्हानांना सामोरे जाताना प्रशासन प्रणाली बळकट करण्याच्या दिशेने या अहवालाच्या माध्यमातून महानगरपालिकेच्या वतीने महत्वपूर्ण पाऊल उचलण्यात आले आहे.

🔷यातून धोरणात्मक कृतींची अंमलबजावणी करणे, संसाधनांचा योग्य प्रकारे वापर करणे, मुंबईत अधिकाधिक हरित क्षेत्र वाढ करणे आणि वातावरणस्नेही उपक्रम राबविणे शक्य होईल.
