Preparation of revised State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) for U.T. of Puducherry
September 20, 2019
| Climate Change
| Environment
Transitioning to less water- intensive crops and groundwater conservation have been flagged as areas of emphasis while drafting the revised Puducherry State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) for the Union Territory. The revised plans were being drafted in synergy with the goals of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) for post 2020 committed by the Government of India and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) taking into account recent scientific assessments and projections on global warming, vulnerability and impacts.

| Climate Change
| Environment
TERI will provide consultancy services to assist two Under2 Coalition regions (Chhattisgarh and Telangana) in India to develop technical capacity to help them to improve/expand their monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of GHG emissions and mitigation actions. TERI will contribute to the following project outputs: (i) For the state or region, a Stocktaking report, including a draft roadmap on technical assistance to be delivered as capacity building. The draft roadmap would be validated by the stakeholders prior to implementation.
Preparedness towards implementing Enhanced Transparency Framework and tracking NDCs under the Paris Agreement
September 1, 2019
| Climate Change
The project aims to undertake research work to enhance preparedness for the adoption of Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines (MPGs) for the Enhanced Transparency Framework (Article 13 of the Paris Agreement). The activities will include research on new reporting requirements such as Common Reporting Tables (CRTs) for GHG inventories, Biennial Transparency Report (BTR), flexibility options and Common Tabular format (CTFs) for tracking progress in implementing and achieving NDCs.

Strengthen National Climate Policy Implementation: Comparative Empirical Learning & Creating Linkage to Climate Finance (SNAPFI)
July 1, 2019
| Climate Change
International climate finance (ICF) is a vital means for supporting the implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) of emerging and developing countries and facilitating the enhancement of climate ambitions. The overall aim of the project is to explore the implementation of NDCs in different geographies, and how this can be supported through ICF.
An assessment of socio-economic impacts due to melt water variability in Himalayan States
March 28, 2019
| Water
| Climate Change
Studies linking the impacts of climate change on glaciers and meltwater availability, and associated impacts on livelihood of local communities are missing. This makes it difficult to understand the real impacts of glacier melting on local livelihood except oft quoted statements about the dependence of downstream communities.
Water Resource Management through Spring and Catchment Rejuvenation in Uttarakhand for Improving Water Security
January 21, 2019
| Climate Change
| Environment
| Water
Himalayan glaciers and rivers, address the water need of people of the Himalayan states and India as a whole. However, despite the state's multiple water reserves, many districts of Uttarakhand face acute water scarcity. Springs of Himalaya are drying up or turning from perennial to seasonal. Since, most of the mountain communities are heavily dependent on springs for safe and reliable water supply, it has become obligatory to preserve and manage these springs.
Development of Flood Warning System for Guwahati Town
October 3, 2018
| Climate Change
| Environment
The study will focus on the potential impact of flooding and identification of flood prone areas in Guwahati City. The key objectives would be to combine GIS with Hydrodynamic models to identify flood risk in Guwahati city on an experimental basis. At a later stage a calibrated model will be developed for flood forecast based on different rainfall return periods, along with a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).
