Abstract: | There is a growing evidence that the climate change do has implications for drought vulnerable India with studies projecting
future possible reductions in monsoon related rainfall in the country. The existing drought risk mitigation and response mechanisms
were looked into and gaps were identified by drawing lessons from previous disasters and response mechanisms. In absence of
reliable climate predictions at the scales that make them useful for policy level planning, the emphasis was on identifying
no-regret adaptation options those would reduce current vulnerabilities while mainstreaming the adaptation in the long run.
The most notable climate change implications for the drought vulnerable India are the enhanced preparedness with due emphasis
to the community based preparedness planning, reviewing the existing monsoon and drought prediction methodologies, and establishing
drought monitoring and early warning systems in association with a matching preparedness at the input level. |
