Climate change is reshaping cities through rising temperatures, extreme weather events and increasing pressure on natural and built infrastructure. This research theme investigates strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing the capacity of urban systems, ecosystems and communities to adapt to climate-related risks.
For Delhi, where extreme heat, air pollution, water stress and urban vulnerability are becoming increasingly pronounced, research on climate mitigation and adaptation is essential to developing practical, equitable and science-driven solutions for a climate-resilient city.
