Divya Sharma, our India Executive Director, has joined the advisory group of the Good City Foundation.
Good City Foundation is a non-profit multilateral development organisation focused on the facilitation and growth of local government projects, startups, businesses and other potential projects in different emerging cities of the world. The organisation connects resources and talents from one city to another to build a global network of emerging cities for mutual growth.
"Good City Foundation’s mission of building a resilient, sustainable and regenerative urban economy is critical for the world we are living in today. It is heartening to see that the Good City Foundation is considering picking up and engaging on urgent issues such as climate action and resilience and the role of urban systems in achieving regional and international targets on climate change. With my experience of engaging with governments and agencies on sustainable urban development and climate resilience, I hope to contribute to strengthening these efforts that would address the challenges of urban areas and bring cities to the forefront of climate action and resilience in the coming times."
