Supporting Climate Action from Planning, Conceptualization to Implementation and Replication

The CapaCITIES Phase II project engages with national, state and city level governments, to enhance capacities of select Indian cities to plan and implement climate resilience actions by mainstreaming and integrating climate actions (adaptation and mitigation) into urban planning processes. The project is also supporting the city and state governments to access finance for scaling up the urban climate actions and will enhance knowledge on accelerating city climate action at the national and global level through its knowledge sharing, peer learning and capacity building activities.

CapaCITIES
Rajkot is paving the way for sustainable transportation with #GreenMobility! 🌍💚The Rajkot Municipal Corporation (#RMC), in partnership with Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and #CapaCITIES, has implemented a pilot project to increase the adoption of electric autos (e-autos) to enhance the adoption of electric mobility for intermediate public transport (IPT), improving first and last-mile connectivity. Key highlights of this move: ✅ 100 beneficiaries received a ₹30,000 subsidy to support the transition, in addition to national and state-level subsidies. ✅ Collaboration with auto-rickshaw unions, banks (for low-interest loans), and vendors has streamlined the process.✅ The project is supporting improved connectivity, providing livelihoods, and enhancing air quality! ✅ Banks offered easy loans under the GOI’s Mudra Loan Scheme, with an added state subsidy via the Bajpayee Bankable Yojana through the District Industries Center as applicable.🌱 Rajkot’s collaborative approach is a shining example of coordinated climate action—making clean, electric transport the heart of the city’s green future! 🌿#SustainableTransport #ElectricVehicles #ClimateAction #SmartCities #Sustainability #Rajkot #CapaCITIES #NetZero #GreenFuture📢 Swiss Development & Cooperation | South Pole | ICLEI-South Asia | Emani Kumar | Soumya Chaturvedula | Smart City Rajkot ...
