Climate Change: Mainstreaming Development Planning in Telangana B. KALYAN CHAKRAVARTHY, IAS Director General, EPTRI Telangana, Hyderabad India
Why Mainstream Climate Change? • Climate change is a potentially significant threat to on-going development / poverty reduction efforts • Pursuing economic growth is necessary to respond to climate posed challenges/ issues • Climate change impacts are complex and require coordination across multiple sectors • Standalone responses to climate change may distort development priorities • An adequate, strategically designed response can bring significant developmental benefits • Mainstreaming climate change into all development planning, both at strategic planning levels and in local development is imperative http://blogs.worldbank.org/climatechange/category/tags/co-benefits 2
Climate Change: Mainstreaming Overview Best levels for National Action Plan on Climate Change Vulnerability observing / understanding and adaptive development and capacity are climate change context specific impacts State Action Plan on Climate Change Sub-National & Local Level Mainstreaming Potential for Most adaptation piloting / ? options require Local Adaptation Plan of Action pioneering local initiatives implementation 3
SAPCC- Telangana……….. A Nodal agency on climate change State of Telangana is Culmination of large Initiation of State announced; formed mitigation & adaptation Action Plan on Telangana’s SAPCC finalized ; And the paddle of projects Climate Change Framework for Climate Change green growth initiated (SAPCC) Adaptation of Industries; – Mission Kakatiya MoU signed with Under2 Coalition Heat wave action plan formulated 2020 2010 2014 2016 Revised Heat wave action plan State Solar Policy put in place SAPCC for joint state Climate friendly water policy for Way Forward for accelerating solar of Andhra Pradesh the state; installations developed Initiated the State Action Plan for Water (SSAP-W); State Solid Waste Management Policy and Strategy devised 4
Climate Profile
Climate Profile of the State Temperature • Mean Max.: 40°C and 43°C in May • Mean Min: 13°C to 17°C in December and January. Avg. Normal Rainfall: 905.3 mm and about [(80% of annual rainfall is received from the south-west monsoons (during (June to September)] 6
Climate Analysis: Exposure Index Construction of climate exposure index Indicator Weight (%) Annual Maximum Temperature 2 Annual Minimum Temperature 4 Heat wave occurrences (days) 3 Cold wave occurrences (days) 3 Severe Heat wave occurrences (days) 5 Severe Cold wave occurrences (days) 2 CV in June rainfall(%) 5 CV in July rainfall(%) 12 Annual Precipitation 1 Monsoon rainfall 6 CV Monsoon rainfall(%) 12 Very heavy rainfall (days) 5 Dry days 5 More than 14 days of dry in monsoon 10 Number of Grids : 350 Wet days 5 Base line period : 1980-2009 Mid- century period : 2040-2069 More than 14 days of dry in monsoon 5 RCP : 8.5 Number of annual rainy days 5 Number of GCMs : 29 95th percentile rainfall 5 7 Hot day frequency 5

Mainstreaming Options Implementation in mission mode for some initiatives • Water Tank Restoration • Reliable water supply • Forest cover increase Innovative pilot field implementation to replicating at state or district or vulnerable area level • Climate resilient agriculture Policy level intervention • Solar and wind policy • Climate performance scorecard for departments • Heat Wave Action Plan 15
Mission Kakatiya Tank eco-system has been a perfect sort of water system and an integral part of social fabric since the legacy of Kakatiyas in Telangana state. Undertaken Mission Kakatiya: Aimed at restoration and rehabilitation of all 46531 water bodies in the state in a phased manner. Achievements: 17860 water bodies restored, stabilizing an ayacut of 12.47 Lakh acres. Increase in groundwater levels in the tank influence areas Second crop being ensured So far 2322 lakh cubic meters of silt is removed 16
Mission Bhagiratha • To ensure safe and sustainable PIPED drinking water supply from surface water sources at: • 100 LPCD ( litres per capita per day) for rural areas, • 135 LPCD for Municipalities • 150 LPCD for Municipal Corporations • 10% Quantity allocated to Industrial requirements • To provide each household with a tap connection. • 10% of water in all Irrigation sources reserved for Drinking Water. 17
Mission Bhagiratha: Highlights • Interlinking Krishna and Godavari rivers with reservoirs in the state to collect, conserve and supply much needed water to the state • Total water pipeline length: 1,30,000 km – covering 26 internal grids, 62 intermediate pumping stations, 16 intake wells, 110 water treatment plants and 37,573 Overhead Service Reservoirs • Based on detailed topography analysis, water to be pumped using gravity and minimal electricity (182 MW) • Project water allocated for industrial use: 10% • Women in villages empowered to oversee allocation and distribution of water in villages and collection of taxes • Water drawn from Godavari river: 19.62 thousand million cubic feet (TMC) • Water drawn from Krishna river: 19.65 thousand million cubic feet (TMC) 18
Integrating Bhagiratha: T-Fiber Telangana Fibre Grid (T-Fibre) is a novel initiative, where the trenches dug for Mission Bhagiratha (Water Grid ) to supply drinking water, would be utilised to lay fibre -optic cables. T-Fibre digital infrastructure shall provide active and passive networks to all 83.58 lakh households in the entire state ofTelangana. 19
Haritha Haaram • In Telangana state there is 26.90 lakh Ha. of forest area which is only 24% of the total geographical area. • To enhance this 24% green cover to 33%, Government of Telangana have launched a flag ship programme “Telanganaku Haritha Haaram (THH)” in the year 2014-15. Planting Achievements so far: 2015-16: 15.86 Cr 2016-17: 31.67 Cr 2017-18: 34.07 Cr Total plants planted so far: 81.60 Cr. 20
