Surat in Gujarat and Haridwar in Uttarakhand are the only two cities from India that have been selected for the study.
The cities' adaptability to climate change will be studied apart from inviting suggestions on how to deal with the phenomenon.
The study 'Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation' is being undertaken under the Climate Resilience for Cities of India programme, a Union ministry of urban development initiative. IRADe (Integrated Research & Action for Development), a fully autonomous advanced research institute, will conduct the study. The Union government will bear the expenditure of the study.
"It'll mainly focus on problems that a developing city like Surat is expected to face because of climate change. For example, if unseasonal heavy rains lead to floods, what are the areas that will be most affected. The study will focus on such issues and suggest remedial measures to SMC," said, Jatin Shah, city engineer, SMC.
