Ahmedabad: Is the amdavadis climate ready? Can our administration or infrastructure resist natural disasters? Or wrestle with a rapidly increasing city population? Apparently, of the seven vulnerability factors, examined by the Ministry of Forest and Environmental Studies on a scale of 3, Ahmedabad among the seven cities is the most vulnerable in three aspects – ‘physical factors’ where the population is directly or indirectly exposed to the sudden weather effects Arriving, the ‘danger factor’ where the city geographical location makes it vulnerable to more frequent disasters, ‘demographic factors’ which are vulnerability factors based on population density.
Study, one of the first of its kind, evaluated seven cities, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Srinagar, Shillong, and Ahmedabad based on various geographical locations, danger vulnerable zones, population and size and identifying urban climate vulnerability assessments.
(UCVA) On a scale of 3, the score is rated as ‘most vulnerable’.
Ahmedabad scored ‘3’ on physical factors, hazards and demographics and 2.67 concerning social factors, where the large slum population remains exposed to this disaster with little or no protection.
Among the seven factors that were examined were the provision of finance, infrastructure and administration and government apart from the four mentioned above.
While describing in the three most vulnerable aspects for Ahmedabad, research, ‘assessment of climate hazard vulnerability to claims of Indian cities selected that vulnerability in Ahmedabad is largely due to the 2010 hot waves that killed many in the city and affected more than 20%.
from the population.
The city experienced at least two climate hazard episodes in a year where the demographic increase in the migrant population was 5% to 10% every year.
This study was conducted by Rohit Magotra’s team, Professor Ajit Tyagi and Yashi Sharma.
However, when it comes to ‘financial provision’, the readiness of infrastructure and administration and government administration scores anywhere between 1 and 1.53 on a scale 3.
“The overall vulnerability score for Ahmedabad for all seven factors is 2.12 and second place after Sirinagar (2.42 ).
Bangalore (2.12) shared the same ranking with Ahmedabad, “according to the MOEF study.
