Kozhikode Corporation awaits CWRDM report to conduct carbon audit
The findings of the audit are expected to help the civic body identify major sources of emissions and formulate targeted interventions to reduce its carbon footprint
The Kozhikode Corporation is awaiting a comprehensive project report (DPR) from the Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM) to advance its plans for conducting a carbon audit of the city. This initiative aims to curb air pollution within the urban area. The Corporation intends to collaborate with entities like CWRDM and the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA) for the audit.
The CWRDM has already submitted an initial proposal for the project, but the Corporation is waiting for the submission of the DPR. Once received, Corporation officials will prepare a detailed plan for executing the carbon audit. The audit will assess the city's carbon emissions from various sectors, aiding the civic body in identifying primary sources of emissions and devising targeted measures to reduce the carbon footprint.
The findings will offer baseline data for monitoring changes in air quality and supporting future urban planning and climate-resilient development projects in the city. Additionally, the Budget proposal includes a project titled 'Haritha Residence,' which will be implemented in collaboration with residents' associations. This program aims to enhance air and water quality within the Corporation's jurisdiction.
The Budget also proposes renovating Mananchira as part of the City Beautification project, transforming it into the city's natural "oxygen parlour."
