• Government of India is stressing on domestic obligations of mass

poverty alleviation along with challenges of food security and nutrition, universal access to education and health, gender equality and woman empowerment, water and sanitation, energy, employment, sustainable cities and human settlement and the means to achieve SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS.

• National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) established in

2008 is the main driver of India’s INDC is followed by the State Action Plan for Climate Change. INTENDED NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTIONS (INDC)

CCA-RAI (PHASE II) (2015-2019): to strengthen the capacities of key actors at the state level for financing, planning, implementing and monitoring of climate adaptation measures. MoEF&CC, Government of India, GIZ and Department of Environment jointly implemented innovative demonstration projects in the field of climate change with local NGO partners and instrumental in the

• verall capacity building and knowledge management initiatives for

CCA in Tamil Nadu during Phase-I. CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN RURAL AREAS - INDIA (CCA-RAI)

6

Government of India launched the Climate Change Adaptation in Rural Areas of India (CCA-RAI) in 2009 with objective of integrating adaptation to climate change in sector policy decisions of central and state governments and rural development programmes.

ACTIVITIES

• Capacity building and knowledge management: multi-level capacity

building programme on vulnerability & climate risk assessment, evidence-based adaptation planning, implementation, financing, monitoring & evaluation, media reporting and creating mass awareness on climate change.

• Climate

Science: climate change impact and vulnerability assessment for water sector and technology needs assessment for water sector

State Climate Change Centre/Cell (SCCC) under National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change (NMSKCC) in the State of Tamil Nadu Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India project for Rupees Two crores (2016 to 2020) with Department of Environment and Anna university, Chennai as collaborator for data collection and dissemination of climate knowledge Objectives

• Establishing Tamil Nadu State Climate Change - Knowledge

Management Cell (TNSCC-KMC)

• Data bank for storing and retrieving climate change information

that will be useful to all sectors

• Climate change knowledge portal for assisting decision makers in

framing adaptation and mitigation strategies by networking of various sectoral information

• Capacity

building by leveraging inter-sectoral cooperation through training and out reach programmes

• Artificial Reef (AR) modules of Ferro-cement

Reinforcement Steel (each of the size 2.5m width, 2m height and 1m longitudinal length) deployment around Vaan Island. [6000 Number)

• Monthly

monitoring

• f

Vaan Island shore recorded for accretion and increase of island area from 2.33 ha to 3.88 ha during low tide and 1.53 ha to 2.24 ha during high tide.

• Enhancing

fish habitats for higher fish production and protection of fish diversity.

• Protection from erosion and submergence due

to sea level rise.

OUTCOME: AFTER AR DEPLOYMENT, FURTHER EROSION IS PREVENTED AND ISLAND IS RESTORED
