Mumbai, which has been battling freak weather conditions and erratic rains over the last few years, launched an ambitious plan to tackle the impact of climate change today. I had the honour to preside over the launch of the Mumbai Climate Action Plan by @mybmc to develop a climate change mitigation & adaptation plan, taking suggestions from citizens and experts. #MumbaiClimateActionPlanhttps://t.co/zIQ4Ezj833pic.twitter.com/nZ0Qbc4j8A The city's civic body Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) launched Mumbai's first climate action plan with technical support from the World Resources Institute India.
