The project was made possible by our donor ClimateWorks and collaborator, Swaniti Initiative. It was a 6-month project from 1 November 2021 to May 2022.
Deliverables
The project aimed to
- provide information on how to unlock new climate change actions at the subnational level and how subnational political leaders and policymakers would measure specific interventions against electoral realities
- raise awareness on subnational priorities and the role subnational collaborations play in addressing local capacity barriers
- scale-up and unlock new mitigation and resilience opportunities at the subnational level
- identify political and technical barriers to subnational climate actions
- accelerate the implementation of 'bundled' national development priorities to improve synergies with concurrent national development objectives and other multilateral agreements
- identify opportunities and actions needed to increase the effectiveness of philanthropic cooperation and partnerships at the subnational level to deliver impact
Outcomes
- Six virtual workshops/roundtables connecting global climate foundations and Indian state level policymakers at the political and bureaucratic levels
