Maharashtra has the highest number of cities from any state in India joining the "Race to Zero", Maharashtra Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray said.
Maharashtra Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray has outlined the roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality for 43 cities under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme from the state that joined the UN's "Race to Zero" ahead of a major climate summit in Paris.
Maharashtra has the highest number of cities from any state in India joining the "Race to Zero", he said.
"43 cities from Maharashtra have committed to "Race To Zero", almost six and a half crore people which is probably the size of a big European country. That is what our intention is. Looking at COP26 (Conference of the Parties). this is perhaps one of the biggest contribution for a sub-national government," Mr Thackeray told NDTV.
