WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

Odisha unfortunately is in the path way of depressions and cyclones formed in the Bay of Bengal during South-West monsoon. With the advance in global warming and climate change, if sea storms acquire greater destructive power as is being forecast, the state will be required to bear the brunt of such storms which means all the gains of development will be washed away in flood/storms waters. Risk and vulnerability is getting compounded due to devastating natural, social, physical, economic and environmental conditions, combined with poor political representation followed by nutritional and health hazards causing a disruption to the livelihoods. This in turn causes distress migration, child sale and women trafficking with rampant social, mental and physical abuse. Climate variability contributes significantly to poverty and food insecurity. 

HOW DOES IT RELATE TO CLIMATE CHANGE?

HOW DOES IT RELATE TO CLIMATE CHANGE?

The fact that the extremity of the degree of human and natural disasters and the implications of poverty forces people to live within a constant state of impoverishment, malnutrition, where their most basic human rights, justice, and entitlements are threatened. The time has come to have a concerted action through broad based partnerships, accelerate cultural biodiversity conservation, institutionalize resilience and adaptation processes with value added initiatives that will complement and supplement the initiatives of the government and facilitate community institutions to carry forward broad based human adaptation.

HOW DO WE ADDRESS IT?

problem image

HOW DO WE ADDRESS IT?

There are two major components: I) Promotion of resilient livelihood models and, II) Setting up institutional processes for learning, management and sustainability of project interventions. Promotion of ecosystem-based resilient integrated livelihood models: A. Landscape & ecosystem-based resource rejuvenation & preventing drought & degradation; agro-ecology development farm based interventions, watersheds stabilisation & crop diversification; B. Lifecycle-based cicro-water resource development, water harvesting, conservation, restoration; C. Local biodiversity conservation, forestry in farm land beyond forest, promotion of eco-tourism; D. Adoption of green energy to reducing women’s drudgery & creating opportunity for carbon credit (integrated solar energy centres or commissioning mini grid, solar home light, fuel efficient cooking stoves to minimize low emission development strategies; E. program convergence cross sectors like MGNREGs WASH.

WHO WILL BENEFIT?

problem image

WHO WILL BENEFIT?

Communities are from coastal and tribal communities affected by disasters in the Bay of Bengal, in the Odisha region.  The primary beneficiaries are individuals from minorities, youth, women, children and resource-poor and distressed migrants impacted by floods and droughts.

WHO IS BEHIND IT?

who's behind this?

WHO IS BEHIND IT?

Udyama has been undertaking and facilitating modest attempts in a sustained manner, primarily to restore the networks that can rejuvenate the resource base. Additionally, it empowers the communities in searching alternative means to live with dignity and face the ‘Next Development Challenges’ for a lasting solution to disaster resilient development and adaptation to climate change vulnerabilities through a process of participation, learning and positive action. In addition, Udyama has embraced integrated and convergent action, meticulously imbedded into the community-led programmes, for mitigating related issues like education, sanitation, hygiene, nutrition and health that have a significant influence on the lives of the poor in both rural and urban settings. – Pradeep Mahapatra, Secretary
