In a bid to set up a Climate Change Cell, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will take help from cities in Germany and the United States of America (USA) that have already taken steps to fight climate change. The civic body is in the process of preparing Mumbai’s first Climate Action Plan.

Officials from the Environment Department said that New York and Seattle in the US, and Berlin in Germany will help the BMC in setting up the Climate Cell Department, which will be crucial for executing Mumbai Climate Action Plan’s (MCAP)’s mitigation and adaptation measures.
