Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into Development Planning in India

This session from the East Coast Regional Consultation on Climate Change Adaptation (Rajamundry, AP, August 2013) focuses on the strategies for mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) alongside Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Mitigation (CCM) within developmental planning. The session highlights the importance of a "no-regret" approach, emphasizing actions that benefit local communities and support development goals, regardless of climate change. Key achievements include financial allocations for adaptation initiatives, formation of city task forces, and the integration of climate considerations into existing sector plans.

  1. East Coast Regional Consultation on Climate Change AdaptationRajamundry, AP, August 26-27, 2013Session III: Planning, Mainstreaming and Convergence of CCA, DRR and CCM with developmental planning - AdaptCap approach Manjeet S Saluja

  2. Rationale for Mainstreaming • National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) has resources allocated and would entail coordination with major departments to implement those activities. • Climate change Action programme under the 12th five year plan with MoEF as the nodal ministry. An allocation of 290 crores for the scheme • There is a growing recognition that Adaptation to climate Change is a part of the developmental process rather than separated from it • Climate change must take a “no-regret” approach. It emphasizes measures that should be taken regardless - even in the absence of climate change - because they contribute to the development process of the local community • At the same time, they put community in a better position to adapt to or mitigate the effects of climate change

  3. Entry Points • Top – down Planning: State Action Plans for Climate Change • Bottom – up Planning: District and PRI level for mainstreaming

  4. Pursuing Multiple approaches

  6. Key achievements – Nellore experience • Committee set up by the district administration to independently assess the impact of the pilot interventions • Pioneering district to have a “Climate proofed” development plan

  7. Lessons learnt • Creation of new structures to implement Climate change adapatation vis a vis making use of the existing ones through Convergence • Climate change Adaptation is not an isolated activity and hence may not have a separate plan • Sector plans must integrate Climate change activities • In other words the existing sector plans need to be Climate proofed • Capacities of members of District Planning committees need to be strengthened on issues related to Climate change adaptation • Additionality of climate project needs to be identified and early movers would have the advantage.
