Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) aimed to integrate climate actions into state planning, benefitting local communities in India by strengthening capacities of state nodal agencies on climate change, and focusing on sectoral departments to plan and undertake specific interventions in climate-sensitive sectors which affected large sections of vulnerable communities in these states.
We undertook preparation of climate resilience plans for five districts (3 in Madhya Pradesh – Tikamgarh, Dewas, Gwalior; West Sikkim in Sikkim and Pauri Garhwal in Uttarakhand). In addition, we supported the respective state governments in building the capacities of state nodal agencies on climate change and sectoral departments in scaling up the climate resilience plans and integration with the ongoing schemes/ programmes.
