Mumbai First

Strengthening primary healthcare systems for a more climate-resilient Mumbai🏥

As part of the Gates Foundation-supported CLAP initiative, Mumbai First is conducting PHC mapping and baseline assessments across K-East, L, and M-East wards to evaluate healthcare infrastructure, staff preparedness, and community heat vulnerability.

At the same time, heat-related health advisories and awareness guidelines are being disseminated across health posts and dispensaries to support healthcare workers and patients alike.

The Mumbai Sustainability Forum meeting was convened at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, bringing together diverse stakeholders to discuss community-led approaches towards sustainability, climate resilience, waste management, and inclusive urban development.

The session featured insightful presentations by Capt. Ashwin M on zero-waste initiatives, cleanup movements, and circular economy solutions, along with Professor Ratoola Kundu from TISS, who highlighted research-driven interventions addressing public health, mobility, education, and climate resilience in Mumbai’s M-Ward communities.

The discussions explored important themes including sustainable waste management, citizen-led environmental action, urban resilience, mangrove conservation, renewable energy access, and strengthening collaboration between research institutions, communities, and policymakers.

The Mumbai Sustainability Forum continues to foster meaningful dialogue and collaborative action towards building a cleaner, more sustainable, and climate-resilient future for Mumbai.
