<br/><br/> Increased urbanisation has enabled the human communities to spread to every inch of space available on globe as if the Earth has infinite land and bearing capacity for catering haphazard urban development. This further has affected our ecosystem resulting into increase of global warming and other related impacts on all living species. The consequences are the environmental problems faced by cities, making an impact on the most endangered migrant population living in informal settlements. Today the world not only needs development but sustainable and resilient so that our failure generation can survive. With this backdrop, the article attempts to a) study the historicity of climate change, SDGs and climate change consequences in the first part; b) deal with international and national practices of climate protection programmes in the second part; and c) carve out the planning initiatives taken by the Indian government so far and the future road map for making development resilient. - Reproduced.
