According to UN Habitat in 2015, Cities use 2% of the earth's land Cities consume about 78% of global energy Produce > 60% of carbon emissions Produce > 70% of global waste Consume > 75% of the world’s natural resources. Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns.

17. India: National Action Plan for
Climate Change (NAPCC), 2008
Guiding principles:
1. Protecting the poor and vulnerable sections of
society through an inclusive and sustainable
development strategy, sensitive to climate
change.
2. Achieving national growth objectives through a
qualitative change in direction that enhances
ecological sustainability, leading to further
mitigation of GHG emissions.
3. Devising efficient and cost-effective strategies
for end-use Demand Side Management.
4. Deploying appropriate technologies for both
adaptation and mitigation of GHG emissions
extensively at an accelerated pace.
5. Engineering new and innovative forms of
market, regulatory and voluntary mechanisms
to promote sustainable development.
6. Effective implementation of programmes
through unique linkages, including civil society
and local govt institutions and through PPP.
7. Welcoming international cooperation for
research, development, sharing and transfer of
technologies enabled by additional funding and
a global IPR regime that facilitates technology
transfer to developing countries under the
UNFCCC.

18. India: National Mission on
Sustainable Habitat (NMSH), 2021
NMSH, 2010, aimed at:
(i) Promoting low-carbon urban growth towards reducing GHG emissions intensity
for achieving India’s NDC and
(ii) Building resilience of cities to climate change impacts and strengthening their
capacities to ‘bounce back better’ from climate related extreme events and disaster
risks.
NMSH, 2010 has now been revised in the context of Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs) under Paris Agreement, SDGs and New Urban Agenda.
“Sustainable Habitat” has been defined in NMSH 2.0 as “an approach towards a
balanced and sustainable development of the ecosystem of habitat which offers
adequate shelter with basic services, infrastructure, livelihood opportunities along with
environmental and socio-economic safety including equality, inclusiveness and
disaster-resilience”. Key areas identified in NMSH 2.0 are;
1. Energy and Green Buildings,
2. Urban Planning, Green Cover and Biodiversity,
3. Mobility and Air Quality,
4. Water Management, and
5. Waste Management.
