Aga Khan Agency for Habitat India (AKAH) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra Information Technology Corporation Limited (MahaIT) of India to further scale habitat improvement and build the resilience of vulnerable communities against heat, drought and flood as well as other impacts of climate change. This partnership is expected to galvanise powerful data-driven risk-responsive strategies in the service of climate-resilient habitats. AKAH's chief executive officer Prerana Langa said, "This MoU will further streamline actionable, large-scale implementation within a facilitative, collaborative framework. Through our heat mitigation interventions in informal settlements, schools, and housing societies across Mira Bhayandar and Chandrapur, AKAH India has demonstrated measurable improvements in thermal comfort, with indoor temperatures reduced by up to 6°C in vulnerable communities.”
