Climate change is creating significant risks to people, livelihoods, and the economy of Rajasthan, particularly with regard to water and food security. Since 2000, there has been a six-fold increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme droughts, four-fold rise in those of extreme floods, and four-fold spurt in those of cyclones in the state. Around 88 per cent of the districts are exposed to extreme droughts/drought-like conditions and 27 per cent to extreme floods. Moreover, multiple districts are witnessing a swap of extreme weather events: drought-prone districts are becoming flood-prone and vice-versa. In summary, a vast part of Rajasthan is exposed to climate risks, which are materialised with higher frequency and intensity, impacting every district/region differently (Mohanty and Wadhawan 2021). At the same time, lack of disaster preparedness entails a very heavy cost. As per UN estimates, the direct costs of India�s lack of climate action to combat climate change and its impacts in the last two decades amounted to INR 13.14 lakh crore (USD 179.5 billion). Therefore, it is imperative for the state to transition to a much more responsive, targeted, and coherent institutional response to mitigate, adapt, and build resilience to adverse impacts of climate change. To enable such a climate action in the state, the Chief Minister�s Rajasthan Economic Transformation Advisory Council (CMRETAC), under the chairmanship of the chief minister, commissioned the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) to conduct this scoping study to identify the following: (i) which institutions need to be recalibrated; (ii) what are the recalibrations required; and (iii) how can the recalibrations be executed. Methodology We employed a four-step consultation process to assess the capacity of the relevant state departments, identify the strategies to address the capacity gaps, and prioritise the strategies to form a phased road map (Figure ES1).
