CSTEP roadmap to tackle climate change risks
The New Indian Express Mangaluru
|May 20, 2025
WITH an aim to tackle floods, coastal erosion and other environmental risks posed by climate change, the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) has outlined a detailed roadmap for integrating Nature-based Solutions (NbS) into urban planning in select places of Mangaluru.
In its report, "Urban Greenprints: A Nature-based Solutions Feasibility Framework for Urban Coastal Regions", the centre stated that with a strategic investment of Rs 172.97 crore, Mangaluru could potentially avoid damages amounting to Rs 11.62 crore annually caused by floods and other climate-related risks.
Due to rapid urbanisation, encroachments on water bodies, and increasing infrastructure demands, Mangaluru has witnessed a decline in natural spaces. As a result, the city has become vulnerable to extreme climatic conditions. The report highlighted how traditional infrastructure such as stormwater drains and concrete barriers could not bear the impact of climate change.
