Abstract

Orissa has become the first Indian state to produce a climate change action plan (CCAP). 皇冠体育app CCAP is the blueprint to reduce climate change risk in Orissa for the next five years. This policy brief outlines the process that produced the CCAP in just six months, using a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to kick start the process. 皇冠体育app SEA was followed by discussion on potential action by 11 working groups drawn mostly from Departments, initial discussions with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and five sub-regional stakeholder consultations. 皇冠体育app CCAP was published online in June 2010 to generate comments from a wider group of stakeholders. 皇冠体育app implications from the Orissa experience include the need for political engagement and leadership; high-level administrative coordination and inter-departmental consultations; broad stakeholder consultation; and integration with regular planning and budgetary processes.
