MoEF: Ahmedabad 2nd most local weather weak metropolis amongst seven studied

On a scale of three, Ahmedabad is the most vulnerable of the seven cities studied by the Union Ministry of Forest and Environment (MoEF). This includes the ‘physical factor,’ where residents are directly or indirectly exposed to sudden weather effects, the ‘hazard factor,’ where a city’s geographical location makes it vulnerable to more frequent calamities, and the ‘demographic factor,’ which is a vulnerability factor based on population density.

The study, one of the first of its kind, assesses seven cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Srinagar, Shillong, and Ahmedabad, based on geographical location, hazard prone zone, population, and size, and identifies the Urban Climate Vulnerability Assessment (UCVA) on a scale of 3, with 3 being the’most vulnerable’ score.

Aside from the four mentioned above, the seven factors examined included financial provision, infrastructure, administration, and governance.

Ahmedabad, according to the study, ‘Assessment of Climate Hazard Vulnerability of Selected Indian Cities,’ the city’s vulnerabilities were largely caused by the 2010 heatwave, which killed many people and affected more than 20% of the population. The city experiences at least two episodes of climate hazards per year, with an annual demographic increase of 5% to 10% in the migrant population.

The research was carried out by a team of experts led by Rohit Magotra, Professor Ajit Tyagi, and Yashi Sharma. However, when it comes to ‘financial provisioning,’ infrastructure readiness, and administration and governance, the city receives ratings ranging from 1 to 1.53 on a scale of 3. “Ahmedabad’s overall vulnerability score for all seven factors is 2.12, placing it second only to Sirinagar (2.42). Bangalore (2.12) is ranked the same as Ahmedabad “according to a study conducted by the MoEF
