India's Urban Climate Crisis: A Result of Policy Failures

India's cities are growing fast, but the way we build them is causing climate problems.

Buildings and roads trap heat, leading to hotter temperatures, especially in poor areas.

Heavy rains also cause flooding because the ground can't soak up the water.

To fix this, we need to change how we plan and build cities, and also help people in vulnerable communities who are most affected by these problems.

It will require smart planning and financial investment to make the cities safe from climate change.
