Webinar Module IV on Mainstreaming City-Level Climate Action

In collaboration with the European Union International Urban Cooperation programme, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) is delivering a capacity building programme on 'Mainstreaming Urban Climate Action' . The programme includes four short webinar modules focusing on building the capacity and knowledge of practitioners in urban local bodies (ULBs), state representatives, policy experts, researchers, scholars, and university students.

This Webinar Module IV on 'Mainstreaming City-Level Climate Action' is the last module of the series and provides an understanding of urban resilience and its significance. The module also focuses on the core drivers of urban resilience that are necessary for the mainstreaming of climate action at the city level, such as data management, stakeholder engagement, and capacity building. The Webinar is accompanied by a resource module and an informative video which will be available to the participants.
