    The document discusses how climate change is impacting rural livelihoods in Odisha, India. It notes that Odisha has a large rural population, many below the poverty line, who face frequent climate hazards like flooding and cyclones. Climate change is increasing risks and vulnerabilities for rural communities through impacts on livelihoods, economic opportunities, health, migration, and infrastructure. The document calls for "climate resilient infrastructure" to help vulnerable people cope with climate extremes. This includes infrastructure that can withstand current hazards while preparing for future climate impacts, remains efficient over time, and factors climate forecasts into present planning. Examples of interventions proposed include rainwater harvesting, afforestation, watershed management, and runoff management infrastructures.

    Objective : To ensure that the poorest and the most vulnerable


    people are able to tackle impact of climate extremes

    • An infrastructure network that is resilient to today’s natural hazards and


    prepared for the future changing climate.
    • Perennial efficiency and usability
    • Factoring the climate change forecast in present plan
    Interventions……to name a few
