The primary goal of the Roadmap is to embed a robust, standardised methodology for assessing climate cobenefits (CCoBs) within urban forestry (UF) programmes in Maharashtra, thereby ensuring accountability, transparency, and scalability of UF interventions in the state. It seeks to provide a structured framework for state-level schemes, state missions, and sectoral policies to institutionalise the measurement and reporting of mitigation and adaptation cobenefits. Specifically, the roadmap will:

• Define actionable roles and responsibilities for government agencies, urban local bodies (ULBs), and private actors in Maharashtra;
• Establish short-, medium-, and long-term pathways for mainstreaming CCoB assessment in the state;
• Enable systematic capacity building and data-driven monitoring mechanisms.
