CCA ACTIVITIES : IN CDMP
CDMP seeks to translate the hard science of CC prediction into tangible, community-level actions to support adaptation to increasing hydro-meteorological hazards. It attempts to ensure better understanding of impact of CC and DRR at various level and for different stakeholders.
In brief -
Establishment of CCA and DRR capacity within the partner Ministries, DMCs
Mainstream CCA and DRR considerations in policies, programmes
CCA and DRR tools, techniques and methods developed to enhance community resilience and policy advocacy
Gaps bridged in community, institutions and climate science for improved and effective climate responsive initiatives
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
ACHIEVEMENTS : CDMP I
Increased awareness among the professionals and public representatives, other stakeholders.
A Climate Change Cell within the Department of Environment (DoE), MoEF
Climate Model results (1st generation) generated using the PRECIS modeling with the help of BUET.
A national climate change database and knowledge network has also been established.
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
LESSONS LEARNED : CDMP I
Establishing an integrated approach to climate change adaptation across the sectors stands critical.
Providing regular technical support on climate change adaptation to major national sectors is highly required.
Climate change modeling will need to be more geographically extensive and more precise to meet the needs of ever more diversified users.
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
CDMP II: APPROACH TO ADDRESS CCA
Training module, training materials, adaptation options, climate trends, scenarios shall be building on the knowledge
resources developed
Working together with strategic partners, implementing partners,
line ministries, and local government institutions
Advocate both at local and national level to mainstream
the process in to the local development planning, national
development planning
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
BUILDING GOVT. (CENTRAL TO LOCAL) CAPACITY ON CCA
Improved capacity of government officers on climate change impact prediction, vulnerability/risk assessment and planning
CCA training manual prepared, shared
About 100 govt. officers trained, capable to impart training
Local govt. are trained and can facilitate training for the community people
Support the functioning of Climate Cell in the Dept. of Environ.
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
SENSITIZING LOCAL LEVEL PLANNING WITH CCA CONSIDERATIONS
Provide climate lens and other tools to assist the community risk assessment (CRA) process to prepare local risk reduction plan
Climate lens prepared and facilitated with the rural risk reduction team to be able to utilize in the CRA
1700 Union Fact Sheets / Union Profiles prepared, distributed, used in the local planning, uploaded in the website
Risk Atlas is prepared, targeted the DMCs (printing process)
Toolkit is prepared, targeted the DMCs (printing process)
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
IMPROVING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE WITH ADAPTATION PROJECTS
Provide both technical & financial supports to implement adaptation and risk reduction projects for the most vulnerable communities
LDRRF/risk reduction projects – Disaster Resilient Habitat
Non-farm adaptation projects – Vulnerable/Indigenous Communities
Livelihood adaptation projects – Internally Displaced HHs

KEY CHALLENGES
Translating the mainstreaming guidelines (sectoral, departmental) into operational modality/business process
Integrating the CCA in the partner ministries where there is weak inter-ministrial coordination
Maintaining the pace of integration and capacity building process ongoing given the continuous change of staff
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief
WAY FORWARD
Translating the study, research findings into useful methods, tools and process, policy briefs, prepare (IDP) strategy
Sharing of results and lessons with the Policy Makers and the greater audience
Institutionalizing and mainstreaming of the lessons and process in the partner department/ministries
