Seminar
on Climate Change Vulnerability - State Action Plan on
CC and CDM in Rajasthan (3rd November, 2014)
CASA, Laya, INNEC and Rajmeru jointly organized a
seminar on Climate Change Vulnerability, State Action
Plan on Climate Change and CDM in Rajasthan on 3rd
November at Institute of Development Studies, Jaipur. In
the seminar different organization representatives
participated who were working on climate change related
issues. Lot of discussion took place in the seminar
related to the Climate Change and CDM in Rajasthan. It
was discussed that the Rajasthan
Govt. had prepared the Rajasthan Action Plan on Climate
Change (RAPCC) in 2011. Several State actions plans were
made by state governments across the country to align
regional priorities to the National Action Plan on
Climate Change (NAPCC; 2008). However most of these
State Action Plans are gathering dust for lack of clear
directions for implementation and apparent lack of
funds.
From
Climate perspective, the case of Rajasthan is unique for
it is the state that has the greatest sensitivity,
maximum vulnerability and lowest adaptive capacity. With
highest probability of drought and scare water resources
it’s vital to look at coherent policy responses
tailored to reduce vulnerability and build resilience to
climate change impacts for its community and its
ecosystems. This becomes even more important from the
perspective of sustainable development for Rajasthan
state.
Some cases were shared in the seminar with insights on
the national study on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
from Rajasthan centric lens. Rajasthan Government State
Action Plan on Climate Change was also discussed in the
context of the same.
