- A recent study by researchers at the IIT- Bhubaneswar has documented how urbanisation of cities in the last decade can sharply increase the local temperature.
- The local surface temperature in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar has increased by as much as 40-50% during the period 2001-2010.
- A 0.5 degree Celsius increase in absolute local temperature during 2001 – 10 in Odisha’s cities was solely due to urbanisation.
- According to UN-HABITAT, the world’s cities cover less than 2 % of the earth’s surface but they account for 71 to 76 % of greenhouse gas emissions.
