Environmental Status Reports for the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)

TERI Mumbai is preparing an Environmental Status Report (ESR) for the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC).

The ESRs indicate the city’s growth factors, environmental concerns and impacts. As per the guidelines published in June 2009, by the Department of Environment, Government of Maharashtra, the ESR has to be developed as per the D-P-S-I-R (Driving Force-Pressure- State -Impact- Response) framework.

It provides information about the city’s infrastructure related to water supply, sewage treatment, traffic and transportation, solid waste management, and biodiversity conservation, as well as the city’s overall environmental quality and possible mitigation measures for its improvement.

TERI's western regional center has developed an ESR for the following cities over the past decade years - Navi Mumbai, Kolhapur, Nanded and Pune.
