Hello Pimpri! Exciting news coming your way! The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is taking a big step towards a greener and more sustainable future. The City Transformation Office (CTO) has kicked off a training workshop on climate budgeting for various departments in the city.
Starting on December 2, the workshop aims to equip departments like Environment and Drainage, Civil, Electrical, Water Supply, and Health with the knowledge and tools needed to integrate climate priorities into their financial planning. This is a major initiative to ensure that every rupee spent by the city contributes to reducing carbon emissions and strengthening climate resilience.
On December 3, PCMC Commissioner Shekhar Singh launched the Climate Budget guidebook, a comprehensive reference document to help departments align their budgets with climate goals. Commissioner Singh emphasized that this guidebook is not just a technical manual, but a roadmap for sustainable urban governance. It will be a crucial resource as Pimpri Chinchwad strives to become a leader in climate-responsive development.
The Climate Budget framework focuses on key areas such as Built Environment & Energy, Transportation, Solid Waste Management, and Water & Wastewater Management. By reducing energy consumption, encouraging clean-energy transport systems, improving waste recycling, and enhancing water resilience, Pimpri Chinchwad is taking a visionary step towards a more sustainable future.
This initiative positions Pimpri Chinchwad alongside global leaders like Oslo, London, New York, and Mumbai, who have adopted similar frameworks to tackle the growing climate crisis. With the Climate Budget guidebook and workshop, departments will be able to strategize effectively, track emissions, and achieve measurable results, making PCMC a leader in green urban development.
So, Pimpri, get ready for a greener, more sustainable future! Let’s work together to make our city a shining example of climate action and environmental stewardship. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting initiative!
