1. Introduction:
When climate agreement was reached in Paris in last December with an aim to limit climate
change, at ground level it necessitated enhanced action. National action plan and state action
plan prepared at sub-national level have never been so relevant than now to build resilient
society. Concrete planning and follow up action is paramount to achieve the goals in the action
plan. Uttar Pradesh, being most populous and one of the vulnerable state in the country, must
take a relook at the state plans in context of integration of disaster risk reduction, adaptation and
loss and damage. The state administration needs be capacitated to recognise and to undertake
appropriate measures to ameliorate climate impacts.
In this context, Government of Uttar Pradesh, PGVS and Climate Action Network South Asia
(CANSA) organized a workshop to support framing of ‘implementation plans’ of SAPCC and
also discuss the means to address loss and damage impacts of vulnerable sectors like
agriculture. The workshop is organised in collaboration with Directorate of Environment U.P.,
Poorvanchal Gramin Vikas Sansthan (PGVS), Oxfam India, Development Alternatives, Christian
Aid, UNICEF, Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN), and Asia Pacific Network for Global
Change Research (APN), Planning, Rural Development, Education, Irrigation, Agriculture,
Health departments of state government.
2. Aim of the Workshop
To create enabling environment in the state for unified action of stakeholders to mainstream
climate change and disaster risk reduction strategies in the development agenda.
The capacity of concerned state departments particularly Environment and Forest, Water,
Energy, Agriculture, Health, Women and Child Welfare and Finance could be enhanced. All the
departments are encouraged to include disaster risk reduction and loss and damage
considerations into planning and implementation of programmes.
1. Day 1
3.1. Inaugural session

the workshop in the inaugural session
While inaugurating the workshop
Shri Alok Ranjan, Chief Secretary,
Uttar Pradesh said that climate
change poses immense challenges
and it is essential that we bring in
drastic changes in our thought and
lifestyle to meet them. Climate
change resilience strategies needs
to be mainstreamed into the
development agenda of the state.
Additionally state should take

extensive measures in 7 missions
identified by state action plan on climate change.
The welcome address of the workshop is provided by Dr. Bhanu Pratap Mall, Secretary, PGVS.
He stressed on the need of climate change adaptation at various levels to attain desired goals
of development. While citing Paris agreement, he stated that India is committed to reach the
goals agreed in Paris National and State Action Plans on Climate Change are geared up
towards it. He added that Uttar Pradesh has adopted seven missions and developed a detailed
action plan on climate change.
Briefing about the objectives of
workshop Dr. Bhanu said that it will
enable the people of the state to
understand the issues pertinent to
climate change adaptation and
DRR mainstreaming and prompt
action in the state.

Sustainable Development Goals
While delivering Keynote address
Prof.V.Menon, Founder Member
NDMA said that the impacts of
climate change are visible all over
the world. He added that robust
climate change resilience and
disaster risk reduction strategies
are lacking in the state of Uttar
Pradesh.
Thus
the
above
strategies
need
to
be
mainstreamed into development
planning and implementation”.
Shri Sanjeev Saran (I.A.S.), Principle Secretary (PS), Department of Environment, Uttar
Pradesh, Sri Praveer Kumar, Agriculture Production Commissioner (APC), UP; Honorable Sri
Anil Sinha, Vice Chairman, Bihar Disaster Management Authority, Patna and Shri Alok Ranjan,
Chief Secretary (CS), Uttar Pradesh addressed the workshop. Dr. A.A. Khan, Nodal Officer,
Directorate of Environment, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh provided vote of thanks.
3.2.
Session 2: UPSAPCC and Adaptation
Mr. Sanjay Vashist, Director, Climate Action Network South Asia provided in-depth review of
UP-SAPCC from the perspectives of DRR and adaptation. He stressed on the need to devise
operational strategy, which includes deriving co-benefits from regular development activities.
While presenting the gap analysis and way forward on in state action plan of Uttar Pradesh, he
said that the state action plan builds a good foundation for initiating holistic engagement on
climate change. However, SAPCC preparation and implementation ought to be an ongoing
process to continuously recognize and address risks arising out of climate change. There is a
need to create an institutional mechanism with accountability and clarity need to be brought with
regard to year-on-year financial allocations in the state budget. While reflecting Paris Agreement
from the state action plan, he further added that the state action plan needs to develop a holistic
adaptation plan that would result in the enhancement of adaptive capacities, strengthen
resilience, and reduce vulnerabilities, explore possibilities of international cooperation and
specifically identify risks of loss and damage and their mitigation.
Sri Sudhir Mishra from Nav Bharat Times stated that documentation of successful stories of
adaption and media broadcast of these
stories will have huge impact. He also
observed that changes in government
policies on any issue are quite linked to
sensitization of media. Thus there
should be considerable enhancement in
investment in capacity development
amongst journalists and others linked to
media.
Prof. Kasif Imdad, Assistant Professor,
PPN College presented robust historical

change and adaptation strategies. He
presented various examples of climate variation and change and related adaption practices.
Harjeet Singh, Global lead on climate change, Action Aid International spoke about historic
Paris agreement signed by 195 countries which provides equal footage to mitigation and
adaptation. Loss and damage was recognised a third pillar for the first time in the agreement.
He stressed on applying climate lens to all development planning and implementation and
enhancing South-South cooperation to learn and get benefited with each other’s experiences
and expertise. He said that designing of parameters are important to derive CCA objectives
from development schemes, development programmes and infrastructure. Management of risk
is as important as taking transformative action for CCA and DRR. Management practices have
to appropriate that addresses climate vulnerabilities. Risk to climate impacts is accentuated
several times because of development mistakes.
Measures need to be taken so that development
work becomes adaptation.
Dr. A.A. Khan, Nodal Officer, Directorate of
Environment, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh presented the
process of making the SAPCC. He described in
detail the 7 missions identified in the state action
plan. He also described issues and barriers of
implementation of SAPCC in the state. Lack of
commitment and adequate funding, lack of
coordination among line agencies and central
ministries on climate change and lack of awareness
among stakeholders are prominent.
Mr. Banku Bihari Sarkar, from UNICEF presented
step by step process for development DRR road
map of the state of Bihar. The roadmap includes
advance SFDRR priorities and achieve target of
Resilience Bihar. While presenting the Disaster risk Figure 7: Institutional structure for climate
resilience for the state of Bihar, he said that
change in Uttar Pradesh
roadmap preparation processes has been quite
rigorous and people participation has been ensured to get appropriate feedback. The state
government will establish of DRR Roadmap Implementation Support Unit and appropriate
human resource unit to run the strategy. Process is underway to notify state platform for DRR
for the state.
The discussion highlighted the importance of inclusion of higher education and involvement of
Directorate of Education in climate
change adaptation planning. It is also
emerged strongly that development
fundamentals need to be questioned.
Rather than addressing single issue
for adaptation, multiple perspectives
need
to
be
considered.
Interdependence of multiple issues
needs to be recognised. Hence
coordination and convergence needs
to be important governance priority.

important to achieve CCA results. In
DRR with inbuilt resilience for 2015-30.
addition mapping of civil society work
on climate change adaptation can provide useful references and hence needs to be considered.
3.3.
Session 3: Vulnerable Uttar Pradesh and building resilient villages
Harjeet Singh, Global lead on climate change, Action Aid International explained the slow onsetting events (SOEs) and the UNFCCC processes. He stated that correlation between climate
change and disasters are increasingly apparent resulting loss and damage to life and
properties. He added that slow on-setting events/processes induced by climate change causing
economic, social and ecological problems but are not readily recognised as rapid events such
as cyclones, floods and droughts.
Mr. Anoop Poonia contextualised slow onsetting events from the context of Uttar Pradesh. He
explained several approaches to deal with loss and damage resulting from climate change. The
approaches to deal with disasters include risk reduction, risk retention, risk transfer and
rehabilitation or recovery. He also explained the limitations of traditional insurance that is not
very helpful to slow on-setting processes. Slow on setting processes do not qualify for traditional
insurance solution for being predictable in their occurrence and inability to spread risk over time
and regions. While the previous three approaches are to prevent loss and damage and build
resilience, rehabilitation or recovery follows to get back to normalcy post disaster.
Ms. Gazala presented Eco village development approaches which could be effective in
adaptation to climate change. EVD concept embeds a pool of sustainable solutions along with
proper planning for solutions for each area and each village which is to be chosen according to
climate, livelihood, etc. The development plan, model, pace and scale needs to be owned by
villagers. EVD also includes capacity building of community in designing, implementing,
maintaining and establishing finance mechanisms for the solutions chosen for long-term
sustainability.
3.4.
Session 4: Climate Finance for effective Implementation of SAPCC
Sri Neraj Varma, General Manager, NABARD contextualised National Adaptation Fund from the
standpoint of SAPCC. He stated that 11 projects have been sanctioned as of February 2016
amounting 227 crores. 7 detailed project reports worth 162 crores are under development.
NABARD has organized workshops, writeshops and training materials to build capacities of
departments of state government. He also explained the procedure to get projects sanctioned
and methods of fund disbursal. He also discussed several issues with regard to funding in
adaptation projects.
Sri Anoop Poonia explained different sources of climate finance in India including international,
domestic, public and private sources of finance. He highlighted various sources of bilateral
finance involving development and aid agencies of various countries such as The United States,
Norway, Switzerland, Germany and France. He explained the position of Green Climate
Finance in providing assistance to developing countries for both mitigation and adaptation
activities.
4. Day 2
4.1.
Session 1: Relevance of DRR Mainstreaming in current context
Harjeet Singh, Global Lead on Climate Change, Action Aid International explained evolution of
Sendai Framework on DRR from Hyogo Framework for Action. The Sendai Framework has
provided emphasis on reducing disaster risk as opposed to disaster management. He stated
explicit role of civil society in disaster risk reduction though the Sendai framework makes
governments responsible for DRR. Since 90% of currently reported disasters are weather
related, climate change is making disasters complicated to predict, prepare and manage to. For
effective response of disasters, past climate data and sound modeling techniques can be used.
With response to the additional preparation required to appropriately respond to the climate
induced disasters, he said that adjustment in cropping pattern, choice of seeds and alteration of
crop calendar as per weather and climate conditions is required. Farmers must not depend on
market to obtain quality seeds. Other agricultural practices need to be modified along with weed
and water management. Faulty development planning also to be adjusted as noticed in Chennai
where wetlands were encroached upon which led to flooding when rains amplified by climate
change occurred. Besides livelihood centric approaches, DRR also need to look at disaster
impact on women, children and health etc.
Department of Environment and
Revenue will work together in
disaster risk management in the
state. Department of Housing has
included parameters in design of
buildings
to
avert
Earthquake
disaster. Retrofitting in housing
design is required to prepare flood
disasters in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Early variety of paddy and multicropping needs to be promoted for
agriculture in flood affected areas. On Figure 9: Dr. J.K.Pandey from Dept. of Animal Husbandry, Govt.
the other hand, agriculture is also of Uttar Pradesh is sharing about local breeds having higher
affected by low and erratic rainfall for coping capacity to climate change in comparison to exotic
breeds
which appropriate measures need to
be taken.
4.2.
Session 2: Department Wise Presentation
Department of Animal Husbandry
Dr. J.K.Pandey from Department of Animal Husbandry presented disaster risks to domestic
animals in the state and various measures taken by the state government to deal with the
climatic and non climatic disasters in the state. Increasing temperature in the state is reducing
productivity from already dwindling sector. Establishment of fodder block making units,
livelihood insurance schemes, veterinary hospitals for disease control and disaster
preparedness during emergency situations are prominent. Improvement of infrastructure is also
an important part of disaster preparedness for the state. Livestock becomes the alternate
livelihood option when agriculture is impacted due to climate change. It is important that state
agriculture department created adequate resilience for agriculture and animal husbandry.
Department of Irrigation
Er. Karunesh of SWaRA explained that the basic role of the department is to supply water to
farmer and respond flood situation in the state. Assessment of vulnerable areas for flooding is
done annually and timely information is provided for preparation and response. The department
is studying basin-wise water requirement for various needs and preparing plan for redistribution
amongst blocks. The State Water Mission as described in the state action plan is managed by
SWARA. It is suggested that SWaRA needs to be integrated with National Water Mission.
Adaptation projects on irrigation need to be developed in the upcoming project proposals.
Housing and Urban Planning Department
Mr. S K Srivastava from the department stated that DRR mainstreaming is being done in
Nagariya
Aawas
Vikas.
The
department has made Rooftop rain
water harvesting mandatory for
household and government building
in the state. The department
promotes
earthquake
resistant
houses in the state.
The
discussion

need to be integrated into city
planning. In future, peri-urban issues
will be addressed. In addition, fly ash will be used in preparing bricks in construction industry
replacing fertile soil. Solar water heater, rooftop solar and energy efficiency is being planned to
popularise in the state.
Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board
Mr Pramod Kumar from UPPCB stated that the board does not have a plan for tackling climate
change. The board focuses on emission reduction through flyash management and checking
water pollution in the state. The department collaborates with the Department of House and
Urban Planning Department.
Forest Department
Mr. Girish from the Forest Department presented the activities undertaken to tackle climate
change in the state. The department has erected river bank embankments, created roadmap for
conservation of wetlands and constituted 150 BMC at village level and biodiversity registers.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is assisting the department in plantation
activities for carbon sequestration. Green India mission will act as carbon sink. The department
has submitted project proposal to NABARD for National Adaptation Fund for Bundelkhand area.

6. Next Steps
6.1. Disaster Risk Resilience
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
DRR and Resilience communication strategy for the state needs be prepared. Proper
planning will be done for creating awareness in the state.
Regular meeting should be done at Chief Secretary level and 5 year, 3 year and yearly
planning need to be done. Earlier plans need to be assessed and future plans need to
be ascertained.
State Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction (SPDRR) needs to be constituted under
Multi-Stakeholder National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (NPDRR) vide
Resolution dated 25th February, 2013 of Ministry of Home Affairs.
Climate change policy of the state will have strategies to deal with multiple hazards and
not just one hazard.
District action plans on climate change will be prepared based on State action plan of
climate change. Appropriate mechanism for operationalisation of SAPCC will be created.
GO-NGO team will be constituted in order to mainstream state climate change action
plan and DRR into state development agenda. Office level disaster preparedness
(OLDP) needs to be undertaken.
Capacity-building of staff of all departments will be conducted to improve planning and
effective implementation of the action plan. Past planning and implementation strategies
need to be confirmed.
Disaster Management Act of the state is to be revised and amended. Principles of
climate change adaptation will be included in the act.
6.2. Agriculture
•
•
•
•
Crop rotation and crop association will be promoted to enhance crop productivity. Use of
technology will be promoted in agriculture and allied sectors in rural areas.
Crop productivity per drop of water should be increased. Less water intensive crops
should be grown for better utilisation of water.
Conservation and wider use of indigenous seeds need to be taken up. It reduces input
cost, enhances and survival yield in case disaster strikes.
The drought conditions of Bundelkhand and strategies to tackle the issue need to be
revisited.
6.3. Water
•
•
•
Sufficient water should be available in the rivers for normal functioning of riverine
ecosystem. Effluent flow and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of rivers need to be
managed by less utilisation of water in canals. Efficient irrigation mechanism needs to be
created.
Measures should be undertaken to recharge ground water. Watershed management
activities will be undertaken to reduce run off and increase green cover in the state.
Green cover should be developed which acts as a first line of defense against flood and
drought. Plantation needs to be undertaken along roads and highways.
6.4. Renewable energy and Energy Efficiency
•
•
Energy efficiency and renewable energy need to be promoted in the state. Renewable
energy such as solar, wind and small hydro need preferential treatment to reduce
dependence on fossil fuel.
Energy efficiency measures need to be taken up at municipal level. Solar panels need to
be installed in all buildings of the state.
