The State in collaboration with Climate Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and other partners have now developed Climate Vulnerability and Risks Assessment (VRA) for the entire state to the level of Blocks. Following expert stakeholder consultation, it has been decided that while the VRA would provide a top-down evidence base for climate actions, it would need to be aligned with bottom-up community level vulnerability and draw clear linkages between climate impacts and current policies to help policy makers formulate meaningful policies and plans for climate resilient development.
