Shashikant Chopde Institute for Social and Environmental Transition (ISET) Knowledge Management for Climate Resilience: The Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN Phase II India) experience ekDRM Conference 10th-11th May, Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi NIDM-GIZ
Objectives • Develop resilience of cities in the region (SA and SEA)-Urbanisation, Poverty and Climate Change • Engagement • Vulnerability Assessment • Identification of resilience strategies for implementation • India—Gorakhpur, Indore and Surat • Phase-II (assessment and engagement) Phase III (implementation)
ACCCRN (Phase-II) in India • GEAG: Gorakhpur (UP) • TARU national partner; facilitating agency Surat (Gujarat) and Indore (M.P) • International partners: ICLEI, APCO, Verulum Associates, ARUP • Main activities (TARU of GEAG) include: • Stakeholders involvement • City Advisory Committees • Sector studies (water, health etc) • Vulnerability analysis • Engagement-- State and National • Role of ISET • Technical support including strategic support • Facilitating technical inputs • Technical and conceptual support and documentation of SLDs • Engagement National level (TERI, IRADE) • Cross-learning in region and providing access to global knowledge
Overview of the processes • GIS based Vulnerability Analysis (large cities) • Vision based Planning • Creating Sectoral Vision Sheets • CAC discussions and inclusion in planning process • Community-resources-government-markets mapping • Explore linkages between stakeholders and resources • Explore adaptation options through institutional mechanisms • Sectoral Studies: systemic and cross-sectoral issues • PLA (qualitative method of VA)-Smaller cities • Shared Learning Dialogues

Sectoral studies • Flood Risk Management (Surat) • Water Sector (Indore) • Geo-hydrology (Gorakhpur) • Overlaid with Climate Downscaling • Understanding inter-linkages across sectors • Systemic perspective • Enables: from Disaster Management focus to Climate Resilience • Identify points of greater leverage? • In combination with VA surveys (qualitative/ quantitative) identify appropriate pilot projects
Shared Learning Dialogues • Sequential and iterative process of: • Understanding perceptions of vulnerability • Understanding softer (qualitative) vulnerability issues • Multiple-levels • Across SECs and sectors (“Community”, GO, NGOs, academia) • Understanding interaction across sectors (systemic perspective) • Identify and rank adaptation options/ strategies (City Resilience Strategy docs—periodic updation) • M & E (adaptive learning)
