🎥 Storytelling for Change: Highlights from the Wetlands for LiFE Film Festival Storytelling is a powerful tool for climate action! By turning complex issues into relatable, emotional narratives, films inspire awareness, drive change, and motivate people to take action for a sustainable future. The Wetlands for LiFE Film Festival taps into the power of visual storytelling. This unique citizen engagement initiative aims at raising awareness and inspiring action for wetland conservation through storytelling and participatory filmmaking. Launched on 02 February 2024 by Dr Musonda Mumba, Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention, the film festival travelled through the cities of Indore, Lucknow, and Shimla, mobilising schools, universities, and civil society organisations through screenings, quizzes, panel discussions, participatory filmmaking workshops, and painting competitions. The festival has recently culminated with the last episode taking place in New Delhi. This chapter was inaugurated by Mr. Jitendra Kumar, Director General of Forest & Special Secretary, MoEF&CC, Mr. Amandeep Garg, Additional Secretary, Wetlands Division, MoEF&CC and Ms. Taina Dyckhoff, Head of Division for Climate and Environment at the German Embassy New Delhi who also addressed the relevance of this initiative for Indo-German development cooperation.

Climate Changemakers: Empowering Change, Enabling Resilience 🌿 The private sector is essential in #ClimateAction as it drives innovation, investment, and large-scale implementation of sustainable solutions. Together with the Bankers Institute for Rural Development (BIRD), we therefore co-hosted the second edition of the ‘Climate Changemakers’ Conversation Series in Lucknow. The series featured two workshops with participation from over 20 C-Suite senior executives and industry leaders of India Inc. to foster exchange and enhance participants' understanding of climate risks and allied opportunities through experiential learning. Dr Sriram Appulingam, General Manager, BIRD, encouraged participants to distinguish between different financial tools and their appropriate uses. In addition, a case study on the Kodo millet project in Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, was used to discuss the importance of sustainable value chains in strengthening climate-resilient livelihoods. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gbcs2xyr Rahul Agrawal, Director, Intellecap, emphasised the need for climate adaptation finance alongside mitigation financing, outlining different credit instruments to fund these efforts. Participants also explored assessing carbon footprints and climate risks by evaluating physical, transitional, and liability risks, as well as identifying business opportunities for climate adaptation. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: 💡 Enhanced Methodological Awareness: Participants gained a deeper understanding of problem analysis, prioritisation strategies, and aligning cause-and-effect relationships essential for effective climate adaptation planning. 💡 Financial Instruments: Innovative products such as blended finance, green bonds, and carbon credits are crucial for financing climate-resilient infrastructure and projects. 💡 Technology-Driven Climate Solutions: Emphasising the use of technology, data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor, forecast, and mitigate climate change impacts for effective adaptation strategies. 💡 Strengthening Climate Resilience: Self-assessment of vulnerabilities and strengths, encouraging active engagement with #ClimateFinance instruments and combining technical expertise with interpersonal skills for holistic climate resilience. The workshop empowered leaders to become catalysts for reducing the impact of #ClimateChange on vulnerable populations and sectors. Adapting to and mitigating the negative impacts of climate change is also a key priority area of the Green and Sustainable Development Partnership (#GSDP) between #India and #Germany.

Climate Co-Benefits for Climate Action 🌳 Have you ever heard of #ClimateCoBenefits? The term refers to unintended climate benefits of a policy or action. Some policies or actions do not have the primary objective of mitigating or adapting to #ClimateChange but their implementation still has significant climate mitigation or adaptation impacts. Adopting climate co-benefits methodologies can help Indian Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) to quantify and measure the specific impacts of their climate initiatives. To institutionalise these methodologies in PSEs, we are partnering with SCOPE (Standing Conference of Public Enterprises), Oxford Policy Management, the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) and the Perspectives Climate Group to organise a workshop series targeted at Indian #PSEs. Our recent regional workshop in #Kolkata explored the potential of developing climate co-benefits methodologies for #CircularEconomy and #forestry programmes to strengthen #ClimateAction by PSEs. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: 💡 Explored critical topics and indicators of climate co-benefits for PSEs, which were illustrated using best practice examples from selected companies. 💡 Climate co-benefits methodologies for urban forestry and India’s single-use plastics (SUPs) ban are being co-created with identified states and interested companies. 💡 Insightful discussions with leading experts on our Draft Assessment Framework to measure and account climate co-benefits in the focus areas took place. Key parameters to pilot the methodology are effectiveness, data availability and the scope of its on-ground implementation. A climate co-benefits approach is beneficial to identify climate mitigation and adaptation impacts in sustainable development policies and programmes that do not have a primary climate focus. Together with our partners, we co-create innovative approaches for #ClimateAction, which is also a priority area of the Green and Sustainable Development Partnership (GSDP) between #India and #Germany. 🎥 You missed the first regional workshop?

🚴Sustainable mobility has shaped his professional life: the topic has played a central role for Daniel Ernesto Moser since his studies. He is now working for GIZ India, in a country of 1.4 billion people and many innovative ideas. ♀️His focus is not only on green mobility, but also on gender equitable mobility. Women and girls in India have fewer opportunities to get from A to B safely. Daniel Moser and his team are therefore looking for ways to promote participation for all.

Optimising Electric Bus Operations in India ⚙️ 🛠️ India’s public transport ecosystem is rapidly transitioning from conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) buses to Electric Buses. With an aim to achieve the net-zero targets by 2070, the country’s aspiration to decarbonise the public bus transport has scaled up. 🌏 With over 8,000 e-buses already in operation nationwide and thousands more in the pipeline through the FAME scheme, transit agencies face considerable challenges in planning and managing their deployment. Introducing electric buses also brings unique technological and operational hurdles. ⚡ 🚍 GIZ India, in collaboration with Surat Municipal Corporation, Surat Sitilink, Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) and WRI India, has launched the beta version of a web-based “E-Bus Integrated Planning and Scheduling Tool for Surat” at the #ConnectKaro2024 annual event. This event featured a session titled “Electrifying Urban Buses: Deep Dive into Electric Bus Planning and Optimisation,”. The tool’s features, capabilities, and real-world applications were demonstrated during this session. 💡 🔧 Tool Overview: The tool focuses on analysing and optimising the operation and cost-effectiveness of the electric bus systems. It is designed to improve transit agencies’ e-bus route planning and scheduling while enhancing the user’s travel experience. The tool assesses the viability of e-bus operations for specific bus models and schedules while optimising charging schedules. Key launches 🚀 🔄 Tool Modules: The tool is developed across three major modules: 1. Dead kilometres optimisation module 2. Bus scheduling and charging schedule module 3. Total cost estimation module 🎥 Tool video: A video demonstration of the support that the tool provides to multiple stakeholders for efficient e-bus city operations can be found here: https://bit.ly/3zpVohp The launch was followed by an enriching panel discussion on “Optimising Public Transport – Overcoming Deployment and Operational Challenges.” Through our collaborative efforts in delivering decarbonised mobility solutions, we contribute to the promotion of #GreenMobility, a key focus area of the Green and Sustainable Development Partnership (GSDP) between #India and #Germany.
