  2. Concept of Climate Change Adaptation

  3. Adaptation can be… Understanding the Concept of Adaptation Anticipatory or reactive spontaneous or planned risk management over multiple spatial and temporal scales.  Good community-based adaptation, like other forms of participatory development, iscommunity-driven, empowering, andstrengthenslocalcapacity. • Adaptation is…

  4. Vulnerability is a function of… Vulnerability • Extent of climate change • Sensitivity • Adaptive Capacity

  5. Adaptation to climate change - opportunities What are the benefits of climate change adaptation? • Reducing exposure and sensitivity to climate change impacts 2. Strengthening capacities to deal with climate change impacts This can result in … • Reducing risks for vulnerable population and livelihoods • Protecting climate-sensitive sectors • Strengthening existing approaches like DRR • Furthering the goals of sustainable development • Climate proofing development activities

  6. Why is Adaptation needed? • India is a natural resources based economy, the projected climate variability in climate-sensitive sectors will impact both economy and population. • Vulnerable coastal communities will be severely affected, as they have most exposure to risk and limited adaptive capacity.

  7. DRR  CCA • DRR: designed to build the resilience of communities to disasters, such as floods and drought • Much Community based adaptation is rooted in disaster risk reduction approaches, • In contrast to DRR, adaptation should also incorporate longer-term climate change and its predicted impacts into community-based planning.

  12. Structure Local Adaptation Guide

  13. Pilot measures - Karlapalem, AP • Pilot project for Karlapalem aims at climate proofing the piped causeway. • The whole structure is envisioned to be wider and higher to prevent flooding of the bridge. • The causeway will feature reinforced concrete pillars, a reinforced concrete surface plate and stone revetment on the sides to prevent erosion at the side of the causeway. • This technological intervention is accompanied by capacity development on maintenance of the renovated causeway. • 750 people benefitted in the community

  14. Pilot measures – Yedurumondi, AP • Pilot project was revetment of water reservoir inlet system • During storm surges the river water is brackish and salinates the agricultural soil. • Reservoir is the only source of freshwater for the island through two pipelines. • The shore next to the reservoir was fortified with stones and vegetation. For reservoir bund, earth excavations done on the shore followed by construction of stone revetment using locally available stones. • 15000 inhabitants benefitted

  15. Pilot measures – Vanagiri, TN Strengthening of Bund, Coastal Plantation and Pond Renovation • Strengthening of bund prevents flooding, intrusion of sea water, coastal erosion and loss of land for fishing allied activities. • The renovation of pond includes activities like fencing, cleaning, deepening, revetment and repair of inlet/outlet supply system. • Casurina plantation acts as a wind block preventing the strong winds and currents from damaging the huts and thatched roofs of the community. • 5000 people benefitted from the pilot measures

  16. Sustainability • LAG presented to Gram Panchayats for integration into local planning schemes • CCA pilots are operated and maintained by the community level tasks forces • LAG translated to local languages for community and sign boards prepared

  17. Sustainability Operation and maintenance (O&M) • Maintenance is both a technical activity and a service provision aimed at keeping resource infrastructure at a desired performance capacity or to restoring it to a particular capacity. Monitor climatic changes and adaptation projects and keep adaptation plan up to date

  18. Review and Evaluate Key questions? • Is the information on climatic changes and impacts discussed in the adaptation plan up to date? • Are the implemented measures described in the plan successful in reducing vulnerability and creating other benefits? • Have the measures described proved to be cost effective and do the benefits still exceed the operational costs? • Do the measures contribute to other societal, environmental or economic targets as envisioned?
