In the course of the intervention, it was found that it is necessary to build capacity of district and state level departments on mainstreaming CCA-DRR integration. This is possible if all the stakeholders are involved in the process. A few ways on how this can be achieved is listed here below
At the State level through:
- Orientation on SFDRR, SDGs, Paris Climate Change Agreement & inter linkages
- Training on integration of CCA-DRR with inter departmental convergence
- Establish periodic review of planning and implementation
At the District level through:
- Capacity building on integration of CCA-DRR with inter departmental convergence
- Review of developmental plan implementation in view of disaster and climate risks on periodic basis under the aegis of DM & DDMA
- A monitoring and review mechanism of DDMP to be developed and enforced
- Climate data need to be generated at micro level and required infrastructure & capacity need to be built
- Deployment/fresh appointment of expert or nodal officer in emergency section and in other key line departments
This is an excerpt from a revised DDMP, formulated with the integration of CCA-DRR concerns, undertaken by Gorakhpur Environmental Action Group (GEAG) on a CDKN supported intervention in Puri district of Odisha, for Integrating Climate Change Concerns into Disaster Management and Development Planning .
