Mission
During the tax year SvaraScape Inc. conducted applied climate research technical assistance and sustainability planning projects focused on greenhouse gas emissions reduction urban climate resilience and sustainable development. The organizations primary program activity involved development of a research and modeling framework in partnership with C40 Cities to quantify the impact of city-business alliances on food-system greenhouse gas emissions and public health outcomes across six global cities including New York City. Activities included baseline data collection food systems analysis emissions and scenario modeling behavioral and economic analysis uncertainty testing public health impact assessment and development of evidence-based recommendations for sustainable urban food systems and climate action. Additional activities supported municipal behavioural energy efficiency and rooftop solar planning initiatives.
Program accomplishments
- SvaraScape Inc. conducted a climate and public health research program focused on quantifying the impact of city-business alliances on food-system greenhouse gas emissions and public health outcomes across six global cities: Auckland Lisbon New York Sao Paulo Stockholm and Vancouver. The program served municipal stakeholders climate networks policymakers and public-interest sustainability initiatives by developing evidence-based research and analytical tools to support urban climate action and sustainable food systems planning. Key activities included baseline data collection food systems and consumption analysis greenhouse gas emissions modeling behavioral and economic analysis scenario development uncertainty testing and public health impact assessment. Research findings demonstrated that ambitious city-business alliances in food systems could reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 45-50% relative to business-as-usual trajectories by 2030 while simultaneously generating significant public health benefits through reductions in diet-related disease burdens. The program also developed technical methodologies literature reviews and policy-oriented recommendations to support long-term emissions reduction and sustainable urban development strategies. Findings related to New York City were presented at the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact Global Forum in October 2025.Expenses $19,447
- SvaraScape Inc. conducted a municipal climate and energy transition program focused on improving energy efficiency behavioural energy management and renewable energy adoption across municipal buildings in Navi Mumbai and Thane India in partnership with C40 Cities and municipal stakeholders. The program served municipal corporations public-sector facility managers and local government stakeholders by developing implementation-ready strategies to reduce electricity consumption improve operational efficiency strengthen institutional climate action and support long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction in public infrastructure. The program included walk-through energy audits behavioural assessments rooftop solar feasibility analysis stakeholder engagement technical systems analysis and development of implementation roadmaps for municipal facilities including hospitals schools administrative offices stadiums laboratories transport facilities community halls and public service buildings. Across the two cities the assessments covered approximately 19 municipal facilities and analyzed building-level electricity consumption energy performance indices cooling systems lighting systems operational practices and renewable energy opportunities. The project identified significant opportunities for reducing electricity consumption through a combination of technical upgrades and behavioural interventions. Findings demonstrated that implementation of recommended measures including high-efficiency cooling systems lighting retrofits operational improvements optimized air-conditioning practices equipment upgrades and rooftop solar deployment could reduce electricity consumption in audited municipal buildings by approximately 25-35% with an additional 5-10% savings achievable through behavioural energy-efficiency measures alone. Estimated benefits included annual electricity savings of approximately 600-800 MWh year in Navi Mumbai municipal facilities and significant reductions in municipal operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The program also developed implementation-ready roadmaps behavioural change frameworks bilingual awareness materials procurement recommendations and institutional strategies aligned with Maharashtras broader city decarbonisation and climate resilience goals. The work contributed to municipal capacity-building evidence-based climate planning public-sector sustainability implementation and development of scalable urban climate action models for Indian cities and the Global South.Expenses $15,000
