As part of the SDC-supported project “Strengthening State Strategies for Climate Actions,” implemented through UNDP, IPE Global undertook a strategic initiative to embed climate resilience into district-level planning across three climate-sensitive states: Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand.
The project integrated climate-adaptive planning into local governance, benefiting vulnerable communities through more responsive and future-ready development strategies. Working in one district in each of the three states, we facilitated the development of climate-smart district plans, using a participatory and evidence-based approach that contributed significantly to broader policy thinking on climate change adaptation.
While adopting a systems approach, the process integrated research, field engagement, institutional analysis, and capacity building to craft comprehensive and implementable Climate Adaptation Plans.
