As the world continues to warm in these climate-risked times, urban areas are some of the worst-impacted. The concrete-and-cement jungles have steadily erased their ‘green’ and ‘blue’ footprints, turning into heat-trapping monstrosities in the process. Add to this the severely polluted and unbreathable air that is becoming common to most cities due to growing vehicular traffic and emissions from a variety of other sources.
India, a member of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, is committed to adopting cleaner energy, sustainable production and consumption patterns, and environment-friendly transport and waste management. Cities offer an opportunity for rolling out actions and solutions on all these fronts. What they need is a context-sensitive blueprint that not only apportions and identifies key contributors to heat, but also charts a course towards low-carbon pathways.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is inviting applications for its residential training programme at the Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI), on understanding this dual threat that cities are grappling with. The programme aims at equipping practitioners with knowledge and skills required for bundling solutions and creating an enabling environment for combined climate and clean air action, which addresses several technical, spatial, socio-economic and financial parameters that are consistent with India’s low-emission development pathways.

What they said about: CSE's training programmes | ||||||||||
“ The training programme offered a balanced blend of theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions, making it highly valuable for urban planners. From learning how to access and process data to analyzing and interpreting it, the step-by-step exposure was comprehensive and insightful. The group work encouraged collaborative learning, and the peaceful, eco-friendly campus environment enhanced the experience.” Dr. Sakkeri Ramya Assistant Professor, Department of Urban Planning, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi |

“The best part of the training were the sessions on heat vulnerability mapping, microclimate assessment, and modelling—they were truly engaging. The visualization and mapping techniques greatly enhanced my ability to identify vulnerable areas, making my arguments much stronger.” Aravind Unni Urban Practitioner, Researcher and Activist |
