Nations across have come with national adaptation plan (NAPs). The inclination towards mitigation i.e.; to reduce emissions have taken a back step and adaptation has come to forefront as even with advanced frameworks, innovation, methodological tool kits, technology and capacity building, we except nations to adapt, acclimatize, adjust and bear the consequences of climate change. Adaptation plans are focused on making the stakeholders including the entities per se to make them used to impacts rather than nudging the ways and means or processes to future proof the entire supply chain and stakeholders day to day living and functioning. Adaptation is a climate intensive attribute for not just 1.5 degrees and or NDCs targets planning, but it’s a preparedness planning fudge function. Why adapt when we can do away with just mitigation? Is what, debate is on with in the scientific think tank.

Impacts Of Climate Change

There is now greater confidence and understanding of the consequences of anthropogenic caused climate change. One of the many impacts of climate change, has been the occurrence of extreme climatic events, recent studies indicate that the magnitude, frequency, and intensity of hydro-meteorological events such as heat waves, cyclones, droughts, wildfires, and floods are expected to increase several fold in the coming decades. These climatic extremes are likely to have social, economic, and environmental costs to nations across the globe. There is an urgent need to prepare various stakeholders to these disasters through capacity building and training measures. Here, we present an analysis of the capacity needs assessment of various stakeholders to climate change adaptation in industrial parks in two southern states of India. Adaptation to climate change in industrial areas is an understudied yet highly urgent requirement to build resilience among stakeholders in the Indian subcontinent. The capacity needs assessment was conducted in two stages, participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and focus group discussion (FGD) were conducted among various stakeholders to determine the current capacities for climate change adaptation (CCA) for both, stakeholders and functional groups. Our analysis indicates that in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, all stakeholder groups require low to high levels of retraining in infrastructure and engineering, planning, and financial aspects related to CCA. Our study broadly supports the need for capacity building and retraining of functionaries at local and state levels in various climate change adaptation measures; likewise industry managers need support to alleviate the impacts of climate change. Specific knowledge, skills, and abilities, with regard to land zoning, storm water management, developing building codes, green financing for CCA, early warning systems for climatic extremes, to name a few are required to enhance and build resilience to climate change in the industrial landscapes of the two states.

The paper examines the relevance of the climate change adaptation and disaster reduction risk for supply chain processes in industry. Through a structured review of academic literature two primary challenges are highlighted: first, non-consistencymethod in integrating formal attribution of climate change adaptation and disaster reduction risk, and second in impacting with changing ecological environment and unpredictable natural disasters for supply chain processes in industry can be described as unavoidable. In examining these two challenges, we arrive at a climate change adaptation framework for industry supply chain as well as a framework of integratedclimate change adaptation and disaster reduction risk for industry cluster. In offering this viewpoint, related climate change adaptation and disaster reduction risk, acomprehensive risk and adaptation management approach is proposed as a practical framing for above two challenges to address climate change impacts and risks for supply chain processes in industry as well as promote the ability of risk and adaptation management in industrial operation process.

Abstract. This brief communication presents the work and objectives of the CATALYST project on "Capacity Development for Hazard Risk Reduction and Adaptation" funded by the European Commission (October 2011–September 2013). CATALYST set up a multi-regional think tank covering four regions (Central America and the Caribbean, East and West Africa, the European Mediterranean, and South and Southeast Asia), intending to strengthen capacity development for stakeholders involved in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation, in the context of natural hazards. This communication concludes with a selection of recommendations for capacity development in DRR and climate change adaptation from the perspective of governance issues.

Abstract. This brief communication presents the on-going work and objectives of the CATALYST project on "Capacity Development for Hazard Risk Reduction and Adaptation" funded by the European Commission. CATALYST has set up a multi-regional Think Tank covering four regions (Central America and Caribbean, East and West Africa, the European Mediterranean, and South and South East Asia) and is intended to strengthen capacity development for stakeholders involved in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation, in the context of natural hazards. This communication concludes with a selection of recommendations for capacity development in DRR and climate change adaptation from the perspective of governance issues.
