India-UK PACT Urban Planning Grant Call for Proposals

The India-UK PACT is a collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing urban planning and mobility in rapidly urbanizing regions of India. With a focus on sustainability, the project recognizes the pressing need to address the challenges posed by climate change, particularly in Tier-2 cities like Erode and Thoothukudi. By leveraging partnerships with government, civil society, and development organizations, India-UK PACT seeks to integrate climate considerations into urban governance and infrastructure development. The initiative supports innovative, low-carbon solutions to promote economic growth and improve the quality of life for citizens, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility, especially for women and vulnerable communities.

The grant aims to support initiatives that develop climate-integrated strategies, enhance data-driven decision-making, and improve access to climate finance. Each selected project will align with government policies and provide tangible benefits to local communities, contributing to sustainable urban development and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Funding of up to £500,000 per project is available for implementation over 23 months, fostering long-term resilience against climate impacts.
