dc.descriptionThe CGIAR Climate Action Program was formally launched in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu to strengthen science-driven support for climate adaptation and resilience. Facing escalating risks from droughts, heatwaves, floods, and cyclones, the state is seeking integrated solutions to safeguard agriculture, water resources, and vulnerable communities. The launch workshop convened senior government officials, researchers, and development partners to identify priority areas and shape a collaborative adaptation agenda aligned with state needs. Discussions highlighted Tamil Nadu’s progress in data-driven planning, village-level climate initiatives, and proactive heatwave recognition, while acknowledging gaps in localized climate analytics, forecasting, and integrated water management. CGIAR and International Water Management Institute (IWMI) presented decision-support tools—including SADMS, AWARE, and climate-smart governance dashboards—to enhance anticipatory planning, digital advisories, hydrological modelling, and evidence-based policymaking. Sectoral priorities included crop diversification, soil health, climate-resilient extension services, tank restoration, flood forecasting, multi-hazard early warning systems, and impact-based disaster preparedness. Participants emphasized co-development of climate information systems, pilot climate-resilient districts, and joint capacity-building initiatives. The workshop concluded with a shared commitment to develop a five-year roadmap, establish a multi-stakeholder advisory platform, and mobilize financing to scale climate-smart innovations across Tamil Nadu.
