Climate Change Adaptation. CRC led the design and writing of the USAID publication Adapting to Coastal Climate Change: A Guidebook for Development Planners to help decision-makers, policy- makers and practitioners understand the impacts of climate change on natural and built coastal and marine environments and to provide strategies and tools to mitigate or adapt to those impacts. CRC provides climate change adaptation training and helps countries “apply a climate change lens” to all key policies and plans.
Climate Change Adaptation. To the extent deemed cost effective, and where feasible, in the context of both the project scope and the risk level for the asset due to global climate change, agencies must include features in the projects funded by the program to better adapt the asset to withstand the negative effects of climate change and make the asset more resilient to impacts such as fires, floods, and sea level rise.
Climate Change Adaptation. Provision of support to develop and implement drought adaptation mechanisms and institutional models, at the state, district and local level, for a more effective delivery of assistance to drought-affected communities through, inter alia, improved coordination and leveraging of various programs currently delivered by Rajasthan. Provision of support to:
1. establish an efficient, effective and responsive Project management mechanism for successful Project implementation at the state, district and sub-district level;
2. develop a governance and accountability framework to ensure that adequate and appropriate mechanisms are in place to monitor and support Project implementation; and
3. develop a system that will support and inform Project implementation.
Climate Change Adaptation. Uppsala municipality Uppsala has worked successfully and systematically to adapt the community to the changed climate both now and in the future, but this work must be refined still further. Climate change adaptation work needs to be integrated with efforts to reduce human climate impact, and climate change adaptation forms part of the municipality’s Environment and Climate Change Programme. A number of committees hold designated and overall responsibility for the municipality’s climate change adaptation. Uppsala has integrated climate change adaptation into the municipality’s organisations and companies, according to the principle whereby initiatives must be implemented within the organisations affected that hold responsibility for the necessary measures. These efforts focus on selecting preventive measures that address the source of the problems as far as possible, selecting measures that mitigate or avoid increased climate impact, and selecting measures that provide benefits from a number of aspects, such as more green areas and a more attractive urban environment. The goal of Uppsala’s climate change adaptation work is for Uppsala to be a robust community that is adapted to the climate change occurring today and that cannot be prevented in the future. Uppsala municipality Uppsala has devised a green structure plan to ensure that important green corridors in the city are preserved. This green structure plan will be incorporated into the comprehensive plan, and renewed cloudburst mapping has also taken place. The municipality intends to:
Climate Change Adaptation. Climate change adaptation is an area requiring cooperation within the municipal organisation. The municipality’s crisis management, community planning and climate transition functions need to collaborate, with the common goal of bringing about a society that can cope with the consequences of a changing climate. Eskilstuna is currently working with climate change adaptation in a number of different areas in the municipal organisation. Cloudbursts have been mapped for the municipality, and this chart is included in the Eskilstuna map. A stormwater policy and plan has been developed for Eskilstuna municipality. The goal of the stormwater policy for stormwater management is that stormwater management should be designed to minimise harm to public and private interests as a result of heavy rain and cloudbursts in a changing climate as far as is reasonable. The climate change adaptation perspective is included in the work on the comprehensive plan and detailed development plans, in the committees’ risk and vulnerability analyses and in the municipality’s preparedness work. A systematic effort to deal with heatwaves in the municipality’s premises and activities is in progress, which includes adapting preschools, school playgrounds and retirement homes. The municipality intends to:
Climate Change Adaptation. The Project trained horticulture producers on four hectares as to the following measures to adapt to climate change.

Climate Change Adaptation a. Technicians organized 14 training activities to promote participatory preparation of mitigation, adaptation and resilience plans for climate change. The training benefitted 571 producers (451 men and 120 women).
b. In order to avoid contamination by runoff (chemical fertilizers and/or pesticides), technicians worked to protect water sources throughout 16,340 linear meters of buffer zones.
c. Technicians worked with 163 producers (140 men and 23 women) to implement soil conservation measures on 19.05 hectares by using individual terracing, elevations, crating and ditches.
x. Xxxx management on 119 hectares planted with coffee to benefit 92 producers (78 men and 14 women).
e. The Project scheduled 14 training events on controlling the spread of coffee rust disease by rotating products to avoid resistance and using appropriate doses and intervals. A total of 246 producers (197 men and 49 women) participated in the training.
f. Technicians organized an event on integrated pest management for 19 participants (13 men and six women) with special emphasis on reduced pesticide use to control pests and diseases common to coffee plants.
Climate Change Adaptation determine councils’ current state for preparations for climate changes as it specifically relates to asset management and financial sustainability, to assist councils to manage their assets planning, building capacities, finances and the likely impacts of climate change;
Climate Change Adaptation. The Project provided technical assistance to 186 producers to grow vegetable crops under controlled conditions in macro-tunnels with subsequent reductions in water consumption for irrigation. RVCP technical assistance to 348 horticulture producers to implement drip irrigation systems on 2.3 hectares for more efficient water use. Improve soil conservation by working with 134 producers from four organizations to implement live and still barriers on 20.08 hectares.
