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.
Senior Analyst
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced individual with expertise in agriculture to join us as a Senior Analyst. This role involves conducting in-depth research and analysis of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) trends, practices, and technologies, and providing strategic recommendations to support sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices.
Empowering Grassroots for Climate Action: Dissemination of Climate Modules
The first blog looked into the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy’s (CSTEP’s) engagement with Climate Asia (CA) on their Climate Action for Civil Society Organisation Development Programme for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). In this concluding blog, we explore the design and development of the climate modules and share insights and learnings from the engagement.
Empowering Grassroots for Climate Action: Bridging the Knowledge Divide
In this two-part blog series, we revisit our experience in capacity building for civil society organisations (CSOs) working across India’s diverse rural landscape, where there is an urgent need to enhance climate adaptation knowledge to address the multi-dimensional challenges of climate change.
Can green and carbon credits drive investment opportunities in rural India?
India is grappling with a surge in extreme climate events causing significant losses, with a shortfall in global climate action, according to the 2023 Synthesis Report of the first Global Stocktake by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). With an aim to promote sustainability and reduce carbon emissions, the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and the Green Credit Programme (GCP) were launched under the Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) initiative this year.
Amplifying voices for nature at COP28
Climate change is a universally urgent issue that impacts all nations, with interlinked consequences for economies, societies, and ecosystems. At the seat of this problem lies the unchecked, irreversible land-use change affecting about 32 per cent of the Earth’s terrestrial area. COP28 provides an opportune moment to shed some light on prioritising nature and biodiversity conservation, alongside carbon-centric strategies.
Climate Finance and Carbon Market Specialist
The Climate Finance and Carbon Market Specialist will provide technical expertise and support in identifying, accessing, and mobilising climate finance resources and exploring carbon market opportunities in the agriculture sector. By strategically leveraging financial mechanisms and carbon markets, the specialist will contribute to the project's objective of promoting climate-smart agricultural practices/technologies and sustainable land management.
CSA Adaptation Consultant
The Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Adaptation Consultant will play a key role in project design and provide technical expertise and strategic advice to stakeholders on climate smart adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector.
Coordinator (Climate Resilient Cell)
The Climate Resilient Cell (CRC) will be established at the Directorate of Agriculture, Government of Odisha (GoO). The CRC Coordinator will work under the supervision of Chief Research Coordinator, and will be the primary point of contact, working closely with project teams, stakeholders, line departments, farmer producer organisation (FPOs), and community members. The incumbent will coordinate with the Climate Support Cell (CSC), GoO, and ensure the project activities and outputs are aligned with the state’s overall goals and objectives.
Intern
The Adaptation & Risk Analysis group at CSTEP is looking for an intern to work on a short-term project on assessing the climate risks to RE assets in four Indian states. The intern will assist in conducting a literature study in order to produce policy recommendations for a climate-resilient RE future.
Responsibilities
Cost-Benefit Analysis (Nature-Based Solutions) Consultant
The Consultant will be involved in a short-term project that aims to assess the relevance of cost-benefit analysis in prioritising nature-based solutions for coastal adaptation. This work will be in the climate change adaptation domain within the Climate, Environment, and Sustainability sector.
