Resilient, Equitable Housing, Opportunities and Urban Services (REHOUSE) India Convening
WRI India and the WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities hosted a convening on July 2, 2024, in New Delhi for the Resilient, Equitable Housing, Opportunities and Urban Services (REHOUSE) initiative and partnership, focusing on strategies to enhance climate adaptation, financing, and access to adequate housing integrated with essential urban services for communities in informal settlements. The proceedings summarize insights and opportunities in the Indian housing policy landscape; challenges in accessing data, tools, and methodologies that may improve policy interventions; the lack of finance for climate-resilient housing solutions at scale; and the need to explore convergence in climate action and housing solutions for the urban poor.
