Climate adaptation is a dynamic and complex process. This includes risk assessment, adaptation planning, implementation, and monitoring at different scales. Adaptation strategies vary according to specific types of climate hazards, geographical scales, and time frames. However, limited knowledge while dealing with several uncertainties is a major challenge. CSTEP's scientific strategies can help policymakers design and prioritise adaptation measures to meet our climate agenda.
District-Level Climate Risk Assessment for India: Mapping Flood and Drought Risks Using IPCC Framework
Climate change is a reality and a formidable challenge globally and in India. Across the world, there has been a rise in extreme climate events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. The severity and frequency of these extreme events are projected to escalate in the coming years (IPCC, 2022). These events not only endanger natural ecosystems but also pose substantial risks to human systems. However, it is crucial to recognise that the distribution of the impact of climate change is not equal across the world.
Coordinator - Climate Resilient Cell
The Climate Resilient Cell Coordinator will be the primary point of contact and will work closely with project teams, stakeholders, line departments, farmer producer organisations (FPOs), and community members. The incumbent will coordinate with the Climate Support Cell (CSC), Government of Odisha, and ensure that project activities and outputs are aligned with the state’s overall goals and objectives.
Employing GIS in Climate Risk Assessment for Adaptation
CSTEP organised a webinar to deepen the understanding of geographic information system (GIS) technology and its role in informed decision-making for adapting to climate change. The webinar explored how GIS is changing climate risk analysis and providing information for formulating adaptation strategies.
Senior Associate
We are seeking a highly motivated ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) expert to conduct comprehensive ecological analyses and design targeted green infrastructure plans in Bengaluru. The candidate will also assist the team in integrating nature-based solutions (NbS) into climate adaptation strategies, policies, and programmes.
Analyst
The candidate will contribute to the outreach activities of the Adaptation and Risk Analysis group by organising workshops and public meetings, engaging with stakeholders, and facilitating community feedback to strengthen ecosystem-based adaptation or EbA-focussed adaptation strategies.
Climate Finance & Carbon Market Expert
The climate finance and carbon market specialist would be primarily responsible for providing technical expertise and support in identifying, accessing, and mobilising climate finance resources, and exploring carbon market opportunities in the agriculture sector.
Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Expert
The CSA specialist will play a key role in project design and provide technical expertise and strategic advice on climate-smart adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector. She/he would also be involved in the implementation of CSA practices to enhance agricultural resilience.
Group Lead
The group lead for Climate Adaptation and Risk Analysis will oversee a multidisciplinary team dedicated to analysing climate risks, developing adaptation strategies, and supporting stakeholders in managing climate impacts effectively. This role involves driving high-quality, actionable climate risk assessments, working closely with both internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring continuous improvement of methodologies and tools.
