• Government of India is working towards India’s INDC onmitigation, adaptation, finance, technology and capacity building.
• Government of India is stressing on domestic obligations of masspoverty alleviation along with challenges of food security andnutrition, universal access to education and health, genderequality and woman empowerment, water and sanitation, energy,employment, sustainable cities and human settlement and themeans to achieve SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
• National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) established in
2008 is the main driver of India’s INDC is followed by the State Action
Plan for Climate Change.

CCA-RAI (PHASE II) (2015-2019): to strengthen the capacities of keyactors at the state level for financing, planning, implementing andmonitoring of climate adaptation measures.
MoEF&CC, Government of India, GIZ and Department of Environment
jointly implemented innovative demonstration projects in the field of
climate change with local NGO partners and instrumental in the
overall capacity building and knowledge management initiatives for
CCA in Tamil Nadu during Phase-I.
CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN RURAL AREAS - INDIA (CCA-RAI)
6
Government of India launched the Climate Change Adaptation in
Rural Areas of India (CCA-RAI) in 2009 with objective of integrating
adaptation to climate change in sector policy decisions of centraland state governments and rural development programmes.
ACTIVITIES
• Capacity building and knowledge management: multi-level capacitybuilding programme on vulnerability & climate risk assessment,evidence-based adaptation planning, implementation, financing,monitoring & evaluation, media reporting and creating massawareness on climate change.
• Climate Science: climate change impact and vulnerabilityassessment for water sector and technology needs assessment forwater sector
• Demonstration Project in Tiruvanamalai District being implementedby Development of Humane Action Foundation (DHAN) incoordination with District Administration and Department ofEnvironment.
• Setting up of State of Art climate Studio at Anna University, Chennaito support improving climate science research and strengthenunderstanding of climate change impacts.
• Revision of State Action Plan on Climate Change as per the directionand guidance provided by MoEF & CC, Government of India .

Establishing/Strengthening of State Climate Change Centre/Cell(SCCC) under National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for ClimateChange (NMSKCC) in the State of Tamil Nadu
Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India
project for Rupees Two crores (2016 to 2020) with Department of
Environment and Anna university, Chennai as collaborator for data
collection and dissemination of climate knowledge
Objectives
• Establishing Tamil Nadu State Climate Change - Knowledge
Management Cell (TNSCC-KMC)
• Data bank for storing and retrieving climate change information
that will be useful to all sectors
• Climate change knowledge portal for assisting decision makers in
framing adaptation and mitigation strategies by networking of
various sectoral information
• Capacity building by leveraging inter-sectoral cooperation
through training and out reach programmes

Artificial Reef (AR) modules of Ferro-cement
Reinforcement Steel (each of the size 2.5m
width, 2m height and 1m longitudinal length)
deployment around Vaan Island. [6000 Number)
Monthly monitoring of Vaan Island shore
recorded for accretion and increase of island
area from 2.33 ha to 3.88 ha during low tide
and 1.53 ha to 2.24 ha during high tide.
Enhancing fish habitats for higher fish
production and protection of fish diversity.
Protection from erosion and submergence dueto sea level rise.
OUTCOME: AFTER AR DEPLOYMENT, FURTHER
EROSION IS PREVENTED AND ISLAND IS RESTORED
