‘Gendered’ Vulnerability to Climate-Induced Stresses Leading to Reducing Nutritional Values and High Mortality Rates among Rural & Migrant Women“Rapid & unplanned urbanisation in Indian cities undermines the role of planned interventions“The initial RDS phase has confirmed that India lacks a nuanced understanding on the key vulnerabilities in rural as well as urban areasagain reinforcing the finding that climate adaptation interventions cannot be generalized at a regional level. The study found that women constitute one of the most vulnerable groups in the sub-regionand a lack of understanding around factors that constrain effective implementation of adaptation plans. Our upcoming Regional Research Program (RRP) phase of this multi-year study will respond to the and climatic hazards such as flooding. Such major vulnerabilities will be asymmetrically experienced by slum dwellers and migrants living in informal settlementsand creates new and broader risks. The increasing influence of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)and ownership of land and other productive assets along with embedded socio-cultural inequalities increase their vulnerability to climate-induced stresses. Differential incidence of health impacts is and Sh. Rathin Royand that there is insufficient research on differential vulnerability especially from a gendered perspectiveas a result of globalizationas they are often not covered by institutional support to manage risks under the existing purview of formal planning mechanisms. In contrastAshoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE) and Watershed Organization Trust (WOTR)ASSAR (Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions)Bangalore is becoming less dependent on its local economy with negative impacts on its natural and built environment. The current development trajectory will intensify risks such as the urban heat islbut can erode present and future capacities and exacerbate existing vulnerabilities. Aromar Revi of IIHS addedCARIAA (Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia). Besides providing a structured understanding on multi-dimensional aspects of intrinsic and compounded risks and vulnerabilitieconcludes Regional Diagnostic Phase (RDS) of five-year long ASSAR study Some of India’s finest climate scientists gathered in Delhi’s India International Centre to attend the two-day National Consultacontrolcrop failure usually affects women the hardest; increasing their workloads and reducing nutritional valuescurrently member of Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Changedeclining crop yields and livestock mortality risks are projected to intensify existing stressors within the agricultural system.High variability and uncertainty in temperature and precipitation were despite the availability of projections indicating an increase of more than 2˚C over central and northern parts of India for the period 2066-2095Director of IIHSDirector of the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP)droughtsdue to a potential disagreement with the projected changes in the precipitation by the end of the 21st centuryenergy-intensive pathway is one such example.

Being conducted by IIHS and its partners Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM)it may not be sufficient to reduce vulnerability. Governance responses to critical vulnerabilities are currently fragmentedJohannesburgleading to challenges of scalability and coordination across different agencies. Local adaptive capacity is often mediated by contested imperatives and is not uniform across regionsmarking the end of its first year of diagnostic research.

Especially the rural population is resource-constrained to adapt to the current and projected future climate variability. Climate-resilient development should integrate adaptation aSh. Nitin Desaithe ASSAR-RDS Report found that even though India and the sub-regions face a dynamic climatic and non-climatic risk profilethe ASSAR-RDS Report identifies key research gaps and critical social and innate barriers to effective widespread and sustained adaptation. Says Aromar Revithe ASSAR-RDS research concluded that it is imperative to assess why different people are differentially vulnerable to these risks across dissimilar semi-arid regions (SARs). For examplethe available climate information currently is too coarse to be relevant to local decision-making processes. For examplethe challenges are very different for the tribal and scheduled caste communities living in the semi-arid plains of the Moyar-Bhavani region in Tamil Naduthe five-year long ASSAR research takes a holistic view of risks and vulnerabilities to climate change and adaptation strategies. ASSAR is part of a wider IDRC/ DFID funded international research progthe research cohort was currently unable to assess its validity over the ASSAR sub-regionsunplanned urbanisationwarming and land-use change is already causing an increase in the frequency of intense precipitation events in some areas despite the weakening of the Indian Monsoon in recent decades.
