AsianCitiesAdapt meeting brings stakeholders on board

The Corporation of Cochin, ICLEI South Asia and IIT Delhi on August 14 joined in organizing a stakeholder meeting on AsianCitiesAdapt (ACA), a project — funded by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety — which seeks to develop local-level climate change adaptation strategies for four Indian cities: Kochi, Madurai, Howrah and Visakhapatnam.
The meeting drew representatives from the National Institute of Oceanography, Cochin University of Science And Technology, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, and Cochin Port Trust. The mayor of Cochin participated as well and said he was “looking forward to the outcomes of the study” and would “take required measures based on it.”
