💨 Abstract

Indian cities, contributing 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, face a climate crisis due to rapid urbanization and energy consumption. With 70% of urban infrastructure yet to be built by 2047, there's an opportunity for climate-conscious strategies. Addressing embodied (construction) and operational (energy use) carbon is crucial. Green infrastructure, sustainable materials, and efficient building designs can reduce emissions.
