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, is community-driven, empowering, and strengthens local capacity.

Adaptation to climate change - opportunities
What are the benefits of climate change adaptation?
1. 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

Why is Adaptation needed?
19.04.23
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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?
