After Mumbai, Nashik is now set to get its Climate Action Plan (CAP). Maharashtra Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray launched the Nashik Climate Action Plan last week. As part of the plan, World Resource Institute (WRI) will draft the CAP over the next two years for the city.
The plan will focus on sustainable transport, green energy and buildings, air quality, improving green cover, water, and waste management.
A Climate Action Cell was also institutionalised in the Nashik Municipal Corporation. With this, Nashik is among the five cities in the state that will create a CAP to ensure sustainable development.
“Aiming at Net-Zero by 2050, we have worked on a robust plan for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and resilience. Over the next two years, Nashik city will work with WRI India, all departments from the city, relevant state departments and implement a detailed climate action plan with citizen involvement,” said Thackeray.
