NIUA has entered into a strategic partnership with GIZ for supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Urban Development in Smart Cities - Phase II (SUDSC II) project, which is jointly implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
As part of the project, NIUA and GIZ have jointly initiated the “SUDSC-II Webinar Series” to support setting up of Communities of Practice. The webinar series is a set of curated dialogues/discussions focusing on urban topics related to municipal finance, climate resilience, digital innovations for urban governance.
The 8th webinar in the series, titled as "Climate- proofing Urban Infrastructure (focus on Heat Resilience)" will explore aspects related to urban infrastructure resilience in the context of extreme heat. It will emphasise on the importance of building heat resilience, multi-stakeholder collaboration, policy integration, capacity building, innovative financing mechanisms, and real-life case studies. The goal is to equip participants with the practical knowledge and strategies for climate-proofing cities against extreme heat events.
