The BMC and the University of Notre Dame in the US have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to facilitate research for investigating climate change in the city in order to reduce the problem of rising sea levels and flooding problems in Mumbai.

In accordance with the Pact, the civic organization will evaluate the sea’s current level with assistance from university specialists and generate data sets that will be helpful in developing predictable measures to safeguard Mumbai from climate-related dangers.

Harshita Narwekar, former corporator from Cuffe Parade, associated with the project, said: “The rising sea level in Mumbai is a serious concern and this project serves as a vital pre-emptive measure to mitigate its impact. Global warming has triggered numerous catastrophic natural disasters in recent times, making it critical for us to redirect our attention towards developing innovative solutions.”

“With this critical data and in partnership with Indian research organizations, we can solidify a plan and then execute it,” Dhiraj Mehra, Director for Initiatives at Mumbai Global Center for Notre Dame International, an institute under the University of Notre Dame, said.
