Mission Overview
The National Mission on Sustainable Habitat (NMSH) was approved by the PM's Council on Climate Change in June 2010 as one of the eight original NAPCC missions, and revised in 2019 to align with India's NDCs under the Paris Agreement, the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda. NMSH 2.0 is anchored by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, with implementation through Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). It aims to promote low-carbon urban growth — reducing GHG emissions intensity for India's NDC — and to build the resilience of cities to climate impacts, extreme events and disaster risks.
- Approved by the PM's Council on Climate Change in June 2010 as one of the eight original NAPCC missions; revised in 2019 to align with NDCs, SDGs and the New Urban Agenda.
- Thematic areas: Urban Planning, Green Cover & Biodiversity; Mobility Water Management; Waste Management.
- Goals achieved through other MoHUA programmes — financed via budgetary and extra-budgetary resources, not a separate NMSH budget.
- India's urban population to reach ~600 million by 2031; cities contribute over 70% of India's GHG emissions.
Vision
Promote low-carbon urban growth and build the resilience of cities to climate impacts and disaster risk.
