TENDER NOTICE FOR Situation assessment and technical support for improvement of stormwater management in Shimla, Panaji and Coimbatore Background: Owing to its ranking as the third largest GHG emitting country globally, India becomes highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Moreover, India is ranked 7th on the Global Climate Risk Index for 2021, making it one of the most affected countries in the world to combat climate change. India has established several policy and institutional frameworks to channel resources for implementing climate action and aligning with global initiatives (such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Nationally Determined Contributions). However, much of the climate science and policy instruments have been developed at the national and state level. While climate mitigation and adaptation should be planned at the local level, the mandates for their implementation, financial resources as well as availability of local level tools/data are limited. The national and subnational policy framework requires operationalization, clear guidance for implementation, and better mechanisms for consulting the local level. The Integrated Urban Climate Actions for Low-Carbon & Resilient Cities (Urban-Act) project aims to improve the enabling environment (effective multi-level climate governance frameworks and instruments) for climate- sensitive urban development in its partner countries as well as at the regional level. In the Indian context, the project enables a multi-level governance and participatory approaches through improved policy instruments, tools for evidence-based decision making, technical analysis, vertical integration of climate sensitive urban planning solutions and capacity building at the city-level.
