Surat, a rapidly growing coastal city in Gujarat, participates in the GEF-7 UrbanShift program to strengthen climate resilience and coastal ecosystem management. Known for its thriving diamond and textile industries, Surat faces increasing risks from flooding and sea-level rise. UrbanShift supports the development of integrated coastal zone management strategies that combine low-emission mobility, nature-based drainage solutions, and sustainable tourism development along the Dumas Seafront. These interventions aim to protect vulnerable coastal communities, enhance biodiversity, and position Surat as a leader in climate-adaptive urban planning in India’s western region.
