- Heat waves : Human Death (1998-2007) Annual average human death
is 5 times of Flood. Highest human death was in 1998 (2042).
Coastal & North Western dists show higher human death
- Slide 13
- Lightning : Human Death (1998-2007) Human Causality Increasing.
Annual average human death is 205. Highest causality is in 2007
(351).

- 50 % of the farmers had already applied adaptation strategies
to respond to their experience of climate change. i.e changes in
crops, crop varieties, planting dates, along with increased
irrigation and supplementing livestock. Impediments to adaptation,
including poverty, lack of savings and access to credit, insecure
property rights and lack of social protection mechanisms to insure
against the risks of using new techniques or technologies.
Microcredit programs can provide the direct provision of livestock
or poultry through asset transfers

- Mitigation Options Interventions Capacity Building &
Knowledge Management Adaptations Policy and Programs Research &
Development
- Slide 29
- Mitigation Opportunities.. Interventions 1. Reduction of
Climate Change Hazards through Coastal Afforestation with community
focus. 2. Providing drinking water to coastal communities to combat
enhanced salinity due to sea level rise. 3. Construction of flood
shelter, information and assistance centre to cope with enhanced
recurrent floods in major floodplains.
- Slide 30
- Capacity Building 1.Capacity building for integrating Climate
Change in planning, designing of infrastructure, conflict
management and land use zoning & management. 2. Climate change
and adaptation information dissemination to vulnerable community to
raise awareness. 3. Mainstreaming adaptation into policies and
Programs in different sectors, focusing on disaster management,
water, agriculture, health and industry
- Slide 31
- Reducing risks to Livelihoods through Developing context
specific crop packages and promoting improved agricultural
practices Addressing Fishermans issues Pre- flood paddy
cultivation, Safe storage of seeds and food- grains, Promoting
organic agriculture Formation and strengthening of Farmers Club
Promotion of crop insurance
- Slide 32
- 1. Overall Objective Enhance disaster risk reduction &
reduce vulnerability of the poor women, men and children with
increased resilience to risks & preparedness and new challenges
emanating from climate change. 2. Economic Justice Need to focus on
policies & programs to ensure poor peoples right to resilient
and sustainable livelihoods through the reduction of poverty and
vulnerability. 3. Essential Services Policies on empowering poor
people to realize their rights to accessible and affordable health,
education, water and sanitation.
