CLIMATHON HYDERABAD
Hyderabad challenges:
1. Hyderabad city terrain is vulnerable to water logging specially during rainy season. This leads to heavy traffic jams and vehicular emissions. Infraroads need to be designed to cope with water logging.
2. Potable water scarcity and water supply in pet bottles are common in Hyderabad. Hyderabad was a city of lakes, a long time ago. Now lakes are encroached for constructions and other use. As a result, water availability is a challenge.
3. High temperature during summer season is a huge challenge. Temperature sore around 50 degrees in summers.This is specially due to less greenery in urban areas. Planned construction may help out maintaining temperature.
4. Waste management is an issue. Open dumpyards and biomedical waste management need to be solved.
5. Enable emission intensive sectors in Hyderabad to develop their baseline of their emissions and strive to reduce their sectoral GHG emissions. Also, sectoral capacity building is required to enable all sectors to reduce their emissions.
