Community Activation for Urban Carbon Neutrality

November 8, 2024

How do we realize a formal climate goal working with informalities?


SOUR and Buro Happold’s Urban C:lab team explored a roadmap for Mumbai, which aims for carbon neutrality by 2050. The city faces significant challenges, including a projected population doubling by mid-century, which will strain infrastructure and quality of life. As a coastal city, it is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels.

More than 50% of the city's population lives in informal settlements. Achieving the 2050 goals calls for much deeper collaboration with the communities, local activation, and acceleration in progress. Thank you to the local experts PRIA India, Reality Gives, Dharavi community, Suryoday Foundation and more, for informing and guiding the process.
