Kerala will implement a project to minimise the impact of climate change and associated risks in the Pampa basin districts by integrating the downscaled climate information into the disaster risk management plans of the local bodies in Idukki, Kottayam, Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha districts.
An exhaustive plan on Climate Down Scaling for Risk-Informed Planning (CDRIP) by the local self-government institutions (LSGIs) has been developed.
The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) and the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA) have been working on making climate change information available to local self-governments for adaption planning and resilience building, in association with the International Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, Centre for Disaster Resilience, University of Twente; and Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Netherland.
As part of the project, the local bodies in the four districts would make available precipitation and temperature change information for the near term (2021-40), medium term (2041-2060) and long term (2061-2099).
The project will eventually create a hyper resolution climate change model and translate the various RCP…
