Outline of the proposed work programme of the integrated V&A assessments
Dr. Sumana Bhattacharya, NATCOM PMC

Format

In this session, the lead facilitator is expected to provide an outline and facilitate discussions for defining the different aspects of the work programme to be undertaken for each of the integrated assessments. This will entail the identification of the climate hotspot areas where the studies can be undertaken, the different drivers that influence the vulnerability in an integrated manner and the adaptation concerns that have to be taken on board for developing an adaptation framework for the respective case studies, namely, the institutional mechanisms, policies, risk sharing measures and technological options .
The discussants are expected to contribute their views/ additional views on each of the issues identified by the lead facilitator for firming up the work program of the case studies.
