Abstract/Description: | The greatest limitation towards developing an effective adaptation strategy for climate change in India is the lack of vulnerability assessment framework and vulnerability mapping of various climate sensitive sectors of Indian economy. In the absence of such quantified data implementing adaptation measures is difficult. At present studies on the assessment of vulnerability of small scale fisheries sector and fishers to climate change in the countries of Africa and South Asia are inadequate though fish forms 50 percent of the essential animal protein intake of 400 million people of this region (World Bank 2004; FAO 2007). Studies on the assessment of climate change vulnerability on fisheries sector has been done at the global level (Allison et al. (2005); McClanahan et al. (2008); Allison et al. 2009). However, vulnerability assessment at the local scale focusing impact of climate variability on the small-scale fishers of the tropical region is meager. The definition of vulnerability as provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is “the degree to which a system is susceptible to or unable to cope with adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes”. There are three main components of vulnerability (V) as defined by the IPCC: exposure (E), sensitivity (S) and adaptive capacity (AC) having a simple relation as V= f(E, S, AC) (Metzger et al. 2005). These three components may be combined together in many ways to form relationship among themselves in a highly context-specific manner. ICAR through the All India Network Project on Climate change (NPCC) and the National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) has taken up the initiative to develop vulnerability maps for the agriculture and fisheries sector in India. The first significant contribution towards development of vulnerability index and vulnerability mapping of the inland aquatic resources and fisheries to climate variability was conducted in 14 districts of the highest fish and fish seed producing state in India, West Bengal by Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute. |
