Abstract: This study examines how governance transparency, fiscal reform, and financial innovation work together for strengthening climate-resilient urban financing in India. The researchers have analyzed the interaction between Mumbai Climate Budget Model (MCBM) and the Green Insurance Model (GIM) under the Insurance-Linked Resilient Urban Financing (IRUF) framework. The three pillars of governance reform (Pillar I), regulatory and technical insurance readiness (Pillar II), and blended finance (Pillar III) collectively improve the creditworthiness of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The study links fiscal transparency to better credit access and insurance participation by using a qualitative case-based approach. The findings show that MCBM builds trust and provides reliable financial data. Furthermore, the researchers proposed blended finance to make GIM adoption affordable. The study concluded that there is a requirement of a coordinated system, connecting governance, finance, and insurance for scaling climate resilience across cities in India.
