Second consultation in the Climate Resilient Kerala initiative will once again bring together experts, policy makers and governmental representatives to assess options and opportunities to integrate climate action and disaster risk reduction, particularly from the perspective of women and children in the Kerala Government’s Nava Keralam Mission launched in November 2016. The initiative seeks to address problems faced in four key social sectors, namely, health, education, housing with focus on energy and water, with the help and involvement of local self-governments.
Future development planning and activities must consider an integrated approach based on the Sustainable Development Goals, Sendai Framework of Disaster Risk Reduction and the principles of United Nations Framework for Climate Change, for ensuring a climate resilient Kerala. More importantly prioritize intervention areas and action plans with State’s planning based on above guiding frameworks.
