🌆 TERI, in collaboration with @iitmadras, @ITDPIndia, and @CenexLCFC, convened a Roundtable on Climate-Integrated Urban Mobility Planning and launched a suite of baseline assessment reports in Thoothukudi on 13 October under the UK PACT-funded PACT-Digi-PULSE project. The event was held under the leadership of Hon'ble Mayor Thiru P. Jegan and City Commissioner Tmt. S. Priyanka, IAS, bringing together representatives from government departments to discuss pathways for advancing climate-resilient and sustainable urban mobility. The discussions highlighted both the opportunities and challenges in integrating climate considerations into urban mobility planning for rapidly growing cities like Thoothukudi, emphasizing the importance of data-driven decision-making, institutional collaboration, and innovative financing mechanisms. A key highlight of the event was the launch of three baseline reports and a policy brief: ▪️ Gap Assessment and Stakeholder Consultation ▪️ Thoothukudi’s Road Transport Baseline GHG Emission Inventory ▪️ Integrated Climate-Responsive Urban Mobility Planning Strategy ▪️ Policy Brief: Institutionalising Healthy Streets in Thoothukudi The roundtable also featured two technical sessions focused on: ▪️ Data-Driven Assessment of Pedestrian Accessibility, Public Transit Performance, and Freight Logistics ▪️ Financing and Implementation Pathways for Climate-Responsive Mobility Together, these knowledge products and stakeholder discussions will support Thoothukudi's journey towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and climate-responsive urban mobility future.
