State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs)

State Policy

State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs) include several existing policies, programmes and schemes across sectors related to climate change adaptation in agriculture and disaster management. These state-level policies and programmes are being analysed from a gender lens to understand how gender-responsive the SAPCCs are. This analysis is underway for the four states of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. Sectors being studied include:

•     Agriculture & allied
•     Water
•     Environment & Forests
•     Disaster management/vulnerability
•     Rural development
•     Panchayati Raj Institutions
•     Women and Child Development
•     Public provisioning in these sectors

Research findings will soon be available here.
