Launched in 2019 by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, which initiative evaluates cities on climate resilience and sustainability performance?
Climate Smart Cities Assessment Framework
The Climate Smart Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF) was launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in 2019 to assess and rank cities on climate-relevant parameters.
It evaluates cities under categories such as energy and green buildings, urban planning, green cover, mobility, water management, and air quality.
The National Action Plan on Climate Change and National Mission on Sustainable Habitat are broader national-level climate policy frameworks, not city assessment tools.
Hence, the initiative that evaluates cities on climate resilience and sustainability performance is the Climate Smart Cities Assessment Framework.
