Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is the only smart city in Maharashtra to receive a four-star rating for effective climate action. PCMC received the rating from the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), an independent scientific analysis that tracks countries' progress on climate action. The CAT rating is based on a city's performance in five areas: greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, energy efficiency, adaptation, and finance.
PCMC received a four-star rating in the adaptation category, which measures a city's ability to cope with the impacts of climate change. The city has implemented a number of adaptation measures, such as building sea walls to protect against flooding and planting trees to improve air quality.
PCMC also received a three-star rating in the other four categories. The city is working to improve its performance in these areas, and it is committed to becoming a climate-neutral city by 2050.
The city has installed solar panels on its buildings to generate renewable energy, which has improved the energy efficiency of its buildings by upgrading lighting and insulation. PCMC's efforts to combat climate change are a model for other cities in Maharashtra and around the world.
