COUNTRY SNAPSHOT

The document details CDKN's efforts in India to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) with climate change adaptation (CCA), specifically through technical assistance to state governments and research on gender-responsive policies and resilient construction.

• CDKN is implementing several research projects in India focused on integrating disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), including studies on flood risk in Gorakhpur, institutional barriers to DRR/CCA integration in Orissa and Bihar, and multi-stakeholder action in the Leh and Barmer districts.
• CDKN is supporting the mainstreaming of gender and inclusiveness within State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs). The Central Ministry of Environment and Forests has agreed to collaborate on this, and the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand have already revised their plans using support from Alternative Futures.
• Technical assistance is being provided to the state governments of Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Orissa to integrate climate concerns into construction projects and develop low carbon and climate resilient building practices.
• A mobile phone application designed to help Indian farmers adapt to climate change is being piloted with one million farmers in Andhra Pradesh by the Society for Eradication of Rural Poverty (SERP) and Community Managed Sustainable Agriculture (CMSA).
