Execu�ve SummaryMadhya Pradesh (MP) is a centrally located land-locked state with undula�ng topography and

diverse physiography. It is considered vulnerable to risks posed by climate change such as

increase in maximum and minimum temperatures, changes in spa�al and temporal distribu�on

of monsoon, increase in frequency and intensity of rains, loss of rainy days, extended summers,

etc. Climate change is not only likely to affect natural resources but also impact human health

and availability of safe habitats in the �mes to come. These climate risks indeed have the

poten�al to hamper the sustainable development of the state. To tackle these changes, the

Madhya Pradesh State Ac�on Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) has been formulated by the state

government, in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the Na�onal Ac�on Plan on

Climate Change (NAPCC).

This report provides an assessment of the technical and func�onal capaci�es of the State

Knowledge Management Centre on Climate Change (SKMCCC) and departments/ins�tu�ons

working in the water sector for planning, implementa�on and monitoring of the SAPCC. The

report is divided into seven major sec�ons viz. introduc�on, approach to the study, baseline

capacity assessment, capacity gaps and requirements, suggested training modules and

implementa�on arrangement.

The first sec�on sets the context by describing the circumstances of the state, climate change-

related vulnerabili�es and objec�ves of the study. The second sec�on explains the approach

adopted for the study, which includes an in-depth review of the SAPCC, interviews with

government stakeholders, data collec�on, analysis and valida�on of results through further

consulta�ons.

The third sec�on of the report presents the baseline capacity of the SKMCCC and

departments/organisa�ons in the water sector, prepared by carrying out a review of the SAPCC

and conduc�ng desk research and interviews with key government stakeholders. This sec�on

provides an update on the status of ac�vi�es iden�fied under the SAPCC and the training

sessions being conducted and resources allocated for each ac�vity.

Based on the baseline capacity scenario, an assessment of the capacity gaps has been

conducted for the water sector, providing further details for each department/ins�tu�on. The

analysis has been extended to ac�vi�es beyond those iden�fied under the Ac�on Plan, so as to

comprehensively cover the capacity building needs for the departments from the perspec�ve

of climate change.

The remaining sec�ons of the report present a capacity development plan developed on the

basis of the gap analysis. The plan includes a list of suggested training sessions and workshops

for improving the technical knowledge and skills of government personnel along with their

possible contents, dura�on and target audience. The sec�ons also priori�se certain training

sessions over others for the short term, based on their importance and relevance to the state.

The suggested training modules are as follows:

• Climate change in the Indian context

• Climate change impacts on water sector

• Vulnerability assessment

• Climate modelling techniques

• Accessing climate finance

• Water conserva�on techniques

• Integrated watershed management techniques and technologies

• Scien�fic water source recharge techniques

• Water resources assessment

• Groundwater management

• Prepara�on of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory

• Drought monitoring

Annexure 1. lists the stakeholders consulted during the course of the study.

Annexure 2. provides a summary of the discussions held during the workshops conducted

with the relevant departments/ins�tu�ons, to validate the findings and the capacity

development plan prepared under the study.

1. Introduc�onThe Prime Minister's Council for Climate Change developed India's Na�onal Ac�on Plan on

Climate Change (NAPCC), which comprises eight na�onal missions designed to achieve

sustainable development as a co-benefit of addressing climate change. In line with the na�onal

plan, the states also developed their respec�ve state ac�on plans, which have different

strategies and ac�on plans charted out, to be implemented by the state departments and

ins�tu�ons. The state ac�on plans are crucial as most climate resilience and adapta�on

interven�ons are implemented at the state level.

Madhya Pradesh (MP) is considered to be vulnerable to climate change. It is a centrally located

land-locked state with undula�ng topography and diverse physiography. The state is drained by 1rain-fed rivers and receives 1160 mm average rainfall annually , though this varies across the

state. It has rich bio-diversity, vast forest cover and plenty of mineral wealth. Majority of the

popula�on is engaged in primary sectors such as agriculture, hor�culture, fishery and forestry

for livelihoods. Changes in clima�c condi�ons can bring irreversible changes to these systems.

Some of the projected climate risks for MP are increase in maximum and minimum

temperatures, changes in spa�al and temporal distribu�on of monsoon, increase in frequency

and intensity of rains, loss of rainy days, extended summers, etc. Climate change is not only to

affect natural resources but also impact human health and availability of safe habitats in the

�mes to come. These climate risks indeed have the poten�al to hamper the sustainable

development of the state.

The MP State Ac�on Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) has been prepared by the Government of

Madhya Pradesh Climate Change Cell (GoMP CC Cell), now developed as full-fledged State

Knowledge Management Centre on Climate Change (SKMCCC) as part of the Environmental

Planning and Coordina�on Organisa�on (EPCO) func�oning under the Department of Housing

& Environment under the umbrella project 'Strengthening Madhya Pradesh Climate Change

Cell'. Out of a total of 15 sectors laid down under the NAPCC, 13 sectors have been iden�fied as

priority sectors for Madhya Pradesh, which include Agriculture, Hor�culture, Animal

Husbandry, Fisheries, Water, Forest and Biodiversity, Rural Development, Energy, Renewable

Energy, Health, Urban Habitat and Transport, Industries and Environment.

The Swiss Agency for Development and Coopera�on (SDC) and UNDP are collabora�ng to

strengthen capaci�es in the state for effec�ve planning, implementa�on and monitoring of the

SAPCC through interven�ons such as mobilisa�on of appropriate exper�se, capacity building of

resource persons/ins�tu�ons, facilita�on of implementa�on of strategies and knowledge

sharing. Thus, a need was felt to understand the exis�ng ins�tu�onal structures and

frameworks and ar�culate the capacity needs of the State Nodal Ins�tu�ons and Focus Sectoral

Ins�tu�ons in Madhya Pradesh for implemen�ng the SAPCC.

With this objec�ve, a study was commissioned in Madhya Pradesh to assess the technical and

func�onal capaci�es of SKMCCC and departments/ins�tu�ons engaged in the water resources

sector for planning, implementa�on and monitoring of the SAPCC. Based on the findings of the

assessment, a realis�c and �me-bound capacity development plan has been proposed for the

state.

2. Approach to The StudyThe objec�ve of the study is to assess the technical and func�onal capaci�es of the State Nodal

Ins�tu�on on climate change and Focus Sectoral Departments in Madhya Pradesh for planning,

implementa�on and monitoring of SAPCC in the state.

The approach taken to conduct the study is detailed below along with a schema�c

representa�on in Figure 1:

• An incep�on mee�ng was conducted with UNDP to outline the approach and

methodology to be adopted for the study

• The SAPCC was studied to iden�fy the ac�vi�es to be implemented for the water sector

• Mapping of relevant departments and ins�tu�ons that coordinate and implement SAPCC

ac�vi�es in the focus sectors was carried out along with the iden�fica�on of relevant

personnel for an interview, to understand the status of ac�vi�es. The list of

departments/ins�tu�ons included:

• State Knowledge Management Centre on Climate Change (SKMCCC)

• Water Resources Department (WRD)

• Bureau of Design for Hydroelectric and Irriga�on Projects (BODHI), WRD

3. Capacity Assessment- Baseline scenario

In 2010, the Government of Madhya Pradesh established an exclusive Climate Change Cell as a

dedicated sec�on within the Environmental Planning & Coordina�on Organisa�on (EPCO) and at

the same �me EPCO itself was no�fied as the State Nodal Agency for Climate Change issues. It was

the Climate Change Cell that developed the Madhya Pradesh State Ac�on Plan on Climate Change

(MP SAPCC), which was approved by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests in 2012. This

Climate Change Cell was transformed into a full-fledged State Knowledge Management Centre on

Climate Change (SKMCCC) so that the ini�al steps towards integra�ng sca�ered knowledge on

climate change could be made available on one pla�orm. Towards this end, the UNDP in

partnership with the state government is suppor�ng the SKMCCC to effec�vely manage and

disseminate knowledge related to climate change.

The SKMCCC aspires to establish a strong rela�on between climate science, policy planners and

development prac��oners, to support the strategic planning of government agencies as well as

local communi�es, with the aim of strengthening their coping capaci�es to climate risks. SKMCCC 2aims to achieve the following objec�ves:

• Crea�ng a knowledge repository on climate change

• Improving access to and transfer of climate change knowledge

• Fostering a heightened environment of sharing and receiving climate change knowledge

• Managing climate change-related knowledge as an asset

4.9 Summary of Capacity Gaps and RequirementsThe capacity gaps iden�fied in each sector for planning, implementa�on and monitoring of the

Madhya Pradesh SAPCC have been summarised below.

For SKMCCC, the following gaps were observed:

• The centre lacks an in-depth understanding of climate modelling as well as interpreta�on

of results from such studies. This exper�se is required to understand the impacts of

climate change on various sectors and develop adapta�on strategies.

• Some members of SKMCCC have received training on climate finance; however, these

need to be taken up in more detail with prac�cal exercises.

• The centre has a provision to employ an expert in each of the key sectors related to

climate change, such as urban, water, agriculture and transport. However, currently there

is no resource available in the centre to support the water sector.

• The department also lacks the exper�se for conduc�ng and interpre�ng vulnerability

assessment studies. This exper�se is required to help bring climate change into the

mainstream of development ac�vi�es and development of adapta�on strategies.

5. Suggested Training ModulesBased on the capacity gaps iden�fied, training modules have been proposed under four

domains as listed here under:

5.1.1 Climate modelling techniques

Ra�onale: SKMCCC requires knowledge of various climate modelling techniques in order to

conduct research studies on aspects related to climate change and their impacts on the State.

Objec�ve: To provide the knowledge and capacity to interpret and use climate model outputs

which will in turn help in further understanding how climate change may impact various sectors

such as agriculture, water, health, etc.

Suggested topics to be covered:

• Basics of Modelling and Projec�ons

• Understanding on limita�ons, uncertain�es, variables and seasonal predic�ons

• Using various representa�ve concentra�on pathways (RCPs)

• Understanding regional and global circula�on models

• Understanding downscaling approaches (dynamic / sta�s�cal)

• Hands-on working with climate models

• Understanding model results and cost of climate change inac�on

5.1.2 Prepara�on of Greenhouse Gas emissions inventory

Ra�onale: The SAPCC has highlighted the need for ini�a�ves/programmes for analysing GHG

emissions. This training module is recommended to help the departments ini�ate the

prepara�on of GHG inventories.

Objec�ve: To develop an understanding of the prepara�on of greenhouse gas (GHG)

inventories and enable the departments to prepare the same for their sector, which can further

be integrated at the state level.

Suggested topics to be covered under this training module are:

• Basic course to iden�fy the guidelines, procedures and general Intergovernmental Panel

on Climate Change (IPCC) inventory guidance

• Asser�on on the importance of ins�tu�onal arrangements at district, state and na�onal

levels

• Conduc�ng quality control, quality assurance and archiving procedures

• Developing a hands-on prac�cal inventory for an example sector

5.1 Climate Science

The following gaps have been observed in the water sector:

• Ins�tu�ons working in the water sector are not aware of the impacts of climate change

on the water resources in Madhya Pradesh, due to which they are unable to mainstream

these impacts into their ac�vi�es and strategies

• The Water Resources Department and other associated departments are not aware of

the na�onal and interna�onal climate finance opportuni�es available to them, which

limits the financial avenues available to the departments to implement their ac�vi�es

and strategies extensively across the state

• Stakeholders in the sector are not aware of the vulnerability assessments carried out for

water resources across the region. Further, the exis�ng personnel are not technically and

func�onally equipped to interpret the results of a VA or know how to use them in the

planning of new infrastructure

• The water sector stakeholders could benefit from an in-depth understanding of

integrated watershed management and water source recharge techniques. The state has

diverse terrains with varying water recharge capaci�es for which different techniques are

required to be adopted

• Water User Associa�ons (WUAs) have been formed at the community level; however,

these associa�ons are not being developed in a focused manner, thereby reducing the

effec�veness and efficiency of the ac�vi�es under implementa�on in their region of

opera�on

• The water sector departments/ins�tu�ons do not have adequate technical exper�se on

best prac�ces for groundwater management, which can improve u�lisa�on of water

resources in the state

Annexure 2Valida�on Workshop

A workshop was conducted in Bhopal on 28 November 2016 to validate the capacity gap

assessment results, dra� capacity development plan and incorporate par�cipant feedback into

the final plan. The workshop was a�ended by representa�ves from the SKMCCC and water

sector departments/ins�tu�ons.

The KPMG team spoke about the importance of states in contribu�ng to India's mission to

achieve a low carbon pathway. Madhya Pradesh, being one of the landlocked states, is

vulnerable to climate change impacts and hence, there is a need for the Climate Change Centre

to guide and facilitate the development of capaci�es in the government departments to

mi�gate and adapt to climate change. The KPMG team presented the dra� capacity

development plan to the stakeholders, which had been developed using the input and

recommenda�ons from the state departments/organisa�ons.

SKMCCC team suggested that basic concepts such as exposure, sensi�vity and adap�ve

capacity should be covered in the module on climate change in the Indian context. The module

on climate finance also needs to be extended in dura�on and a�ended only by the individuals

who have an understanding of climate change, understand their department's ac�vi�es and

priori�es and are prepared to devote substan�al �me and effort for proposal prepara�on. A

need to understand approaches and methodologies to prepare state-level GHG inventory was

also expressed, given the focus being placed on it by the central government.

In the discussion on water sector, Dr Swa� Jain, PHED, asserted on the need for understanding

the climate change impacts and adapta�on strategies as was suggested under the 'Climate

change impacts on water resources module'. Mr Pradeep and Mr Sanjay Kumar from the Water

Resources Department insisted on the need for the assessment of water reservoirs in the state

department ac�vi�es to enable be�er implementa�on of water recharge ac�vi�es. A need to

cover the legal aspect of groundwater management in the training was also expressed.

The suggested training modules were well perceived by the departments and ins�tu�ons

during the workshop. The valida�on workshop was able to gather valuable input from the

stakeholders and these were incorporated in the final capacity development plan.
