With the emerging national narrative on urban climate action and disaster resilience, Indian cities now have a window of opportunity to innovate and implement resilience solutions. However, there is a strong need to come up with a detailed roadmap to translate policy into action, scaling-up the proof of concepts, and mainstream resilience in the urban planning and management mechanisms at the national level. At the same time, it is equally important to sensitize the City Level Decision Makers on the value of resilience investment and how different stakeholders can drive the resilience agenda locally. To this end, URU is developing a national level resilience framework, proof of concepts for evidence based policymaking, and tools for integrating a resilience lens in the local urban planning, infrastructure development and governance processes.
