Reducing urban greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable urban mobility planning

ongoing

MobiliseYourCity (MYC) is part of an international initiative supported by the French and German governments launched at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) in December, 2015. Based on a proposal made by AFD in 2015, the European Union agreed to provide funds of €3.5 million through the AFD to contribute to specific investments and technical assistance components within the MYC programme in India. In India, MYC will support three pilot cities - Nagpur, Kochi and Ahmedabad - in their efforts to reduce their Green House Gas (GHG) emissions related to urban transport.To do this, the project will support these cities with the implementation of urban mobility plans at the local level. At the national level, this project will contribute to improvements to the nation’s sustainable transport policy. A technical assistance component will support the three pilot cities as well as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs with the planning and implementation of sustainable urban transport projects, strengthening institutional capacity around urban mobility planning and permitting learning and exchanges with other cities across India on best practices.
