The project seeks to achieve this goal by drawing largely from Swiss expertise on these topics and translating this experience to address the Indian context, with support from partners in India. The Implementing Agency (IA) of the project comprising two Swiss entities – “South Pole Carbon Asset Management” and “econcept”, and the local Indian partner –“ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia”. The National Institute of Urban Affairs is the knowledge partner of the project.

The three project cities of Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Vadodara, represented by their respective Municipal Commissioners, have also entered into MoU with the project IA and the two mentioned state government departments, to formalise project execution in the cities.

While Rajkot city made significant strides in their journey towards achieving climate resilience with the support of the project in Phase I; in the second phase, the project has already provided support to all the smart cities of the state in reporting to the Climate Smart Cities Assessment Framework, a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India and will continue to work with the state government of Gujarat and the project cities to mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation into development policies not only at the city, but also at the state level. The project will be providing technical support for the development of innovative financing models to ascertain large scale deployment of climate resilient infrastructure and the preparation of relevant policies. Pilot projects that demonstrate innovative climate action and financing mechanisms will also be implemented.
