Housing is a crucial entry point to improving quality of life and economic opportunities, acting as a catalyst for developing other essential urban services. Towards that end, the Sustainable Cities program of WRI India, along with partners, recently hosted the first-ever India edition of REHOUSE (Resilient, Equitable Housing, Opportunities and Urban Services) in New Delhi. REHOUSE 2024 gave us the opportunity to share our work and understanding of resilient, affordable housing and bridging the urban services gap for vulnerable communities. It also gave us the invaluable opportunity to engage with, and learn from, researchers, solutions providers, and subject experts, on the existing provisioning of housing. The discussion helped us distill strategies for how best to improve the living conditions of residents in urban informal settlements and other precarious housing through on-ground solutions, informed decision making and long-term collaboration.

In 2015 when the Paris Agreement was reached, its new goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C was at risk of being dead on arrival because the world was on the verge of a coal-plant-building boom. However, since then the amount of new coal power in development has fallen dramatically. Why? There are multiple reasons for the transformative change: 🔌Clean energy filled the gap 🏭Most of the biggest emitters announced goals to reach net-zero emissions 💰Large public financiers of coal projects committed to stop lending #SystemsChangeLab explores the history of coal plants cancellations in China, India and Vietnam to help understand how the world can speed up the cancellation of the remaining coal project pipeline▶️ https://bit.ly/3zMN5vK
