Dear Friend,
At COP26 this year climate policy makers focused to put water to the heart of action plans. It was evident through all discussions that nature based solutions and use of water more efficientlycan go long way in combating climate change impacts. In India, the operational guidelines for the national flagship programmes– SBM 2.0 and AMRUT 2.0 were launched to improve service delivery focusing on 24-7 water supply and wastewater (used water) treatment in 4000+ towns and cities. Recently both the ministries dealing with urban affairs and water (Jal Shakti) launched the River City Alliance with 30 cities across India’s coming on board committing to build in river thinking and water-sensitive action plans in their Master Plans for Urban / Infrastructure Development with an aim to implement model projects to act as learning centre for other urban local bodies.
The CSE School of Water and Waste as key capacity building hub is launching series of curated workshops and advanced training programmes for regulators, managers and all others supporting cities in India as well as global south to sensitize all stakeholders on urgency to build adaptation strategies in water management (including drainage and storm water management) address climate change impacts in urban areas.
In this endeavour, we are pleased to put forward this bi-monthly newsletter exhibiting, updates, publications, training, events and more. We look forward to hearing impact stories of change from all our alumni, partners and readers.
Your suggestions and feedback are welcome at: sww-aaeti@cseindia.org
Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year.
Best regards,
Suresh Kumar Rohilla
Senior Director & Academic Director
