9. Undertaking Resilience responsibility is very much Challenging
“

fire, lightening, Distressed Migrations, Environmental Hazards,
trafficking Extremists”: What Next?
• Odisha unfortunately is in the path way of depressions
and cyclones formed in the Bay of Bengal during south
west monsoon.
• With advance in global warming and climate change if
sea storms acquire greater destructive power as is
being forecast, the state will be required to bear the
brunt of such storms which means all the gains of
development will be washed away in flood/storms
waters.
• Manifold Vulnerabilities are there

20. At the UN climate change talks in Bonn, it has been felt that there is a need to devise an
environment vulnerability index. With the big money expected to come from the
Adaptation Fund, it is important to develop a method to prioritize funding

41. Our Citizen action:-envisage broad
based initiatives with a focus on:
• Enhance empowerment and capability
through linking to the broader view of
poverty
• Highlights the crucial role of ‘context’
(especially vulnerability context)
• how this influences the asset base,
selection of livelihood strategies and
the outcomes for households
• Giving space to advocate local
initiatives
• Livelihoods with adequate
diversification & convergence
• Build on what exists - a multi-
dimensional, integrated perspective
• Capacity building of CBOs & NGOs –
‘self sufficiency’ and ‘self employed’
• Simultaneous programming
• Institution building and enabling
environment
• Wider replication and scaling up for
reducing vulnerability thru a network

UDYAMA’ Coverage working directly with community , coverage in facilitating Network towards community resilience process
Various quantitative and qualitative thematic actions at ground on water, environment, grooming the groups and skill bilding towards community resilience programs
UDYAMA’s netwoking relationship with local and global organisations on issues, challenges actions and advocacy to community resilience and environmental sustainability
Evidence of Coastal Erosion and Expected Sea Surge if there will be destructive cyclone
With advance in global warming and climate change if sea storms acquire greater destructive power as is being forecast, the state will be required to bear the brunt of such storms which means all the gains of development will be washed away in flood/storms waters.
Environmental Degradation, Loss of Bio diversity, water shortage, crop failure and drought like situation make people vulnerable manifold
Temperature Hike Exposed rocks, degraded land mass causes more risks on survival
- Where shock and stress is prolonged, sustained vulnerability starts
Hunger, Starvation, child sale and women trafficking are a common occurrence with rampant social, mental and physical abuse
Risk and vulnerability is getting compounded due to devastating natural, social, physical, economical and environmental capital in Odisha
Survival risk (covers food, water, health, nutrition and basic needs)
Social risk (covers community cohesiveness, ethical and cultural relationships with better education, sanitation)
Economical Risk (covers production, marketing, credit and linkages)
Environmental Risk (covers climate change and temperature rise, deforestation and desertification) that is moving towards desertification in Western and inlands of the state to generate assured livelihoods
Impacts on children - food and water in-security, reducing social cohesiveness due to degradation of environment
Environmental Impacts due to devastation of Ecology and it’s repercussions on biodiversity

A New Approache towards Capacity Building
CBOs & NGOs towards asset based development of good practices.
Advocacy & Sensitization to larger fora
Institution building and enabling environment at ground linking micro- macro relatinship
Actions in ground geared towards sustainable water resources utilization, gearing greening and rejuvenating land and water resource base
Adopting landscape approach for resource conservation such as, generating green cover, promoting community water harvesting structures
Various types of water harvesting structures and Land development preventing degradation
Community Water resource improvement with fish farming , duckery and water cropping
Community sensitization & Awareness generation through folk media on various issues and opportunities
Interface with community on the organisational approaches to achieve resilience , giving priority to community counseling and empowerment, decision making to bring lush green, addressing food, water and social and ecological richness, environmental sustainability
Interaction on Food Security & Agro Ecology Development , Counseling and Exposure at different demo sites
Accelerating Systems of Rice Intensification and Crop Diversification towards food and nutrition security and sustainable land and water utilisation and management.
Various types of Vegetable cropping adoption for nutrition diversification & income enhancement especially done by women folk
Cost effective Organic manure preparation in order to reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, to minimize water contamination and water pollution & promoting application of drip irrigation as an appropriate local technology in water stress areas with crop protection
Various types of life skill building trainings for youth dropouts and adolescents towards income enhancement and addressing distress migration.
Engaging Teenage in Green Campaigning in Urban areas – preparing the future generation.
Under climate change initiatives, Green campaign with teenage towards low carbon initiative and inculcating idea with students and pupil
Water back pack distribution in water stressed areas reducing burden from head to shoulder. Usually women are engaged in collecting drinking water traveling long distances.
Thus we need the further support, handholding and resource linkage to make holistic efforts with an emphasis on sustainable consumption, enhanced productivity and environmental richness that Asia Wants. Lets Put our synergy together.
Sustainable development is threatened by increasing disasters. Development practices and investments need to systematically take into account the risks of natural and related hazards.
To learn to live with risks, Education, professional training and information exchange are vital. Hence it is required at the start of the decade to impart education for sustainable development, to expand educational and training process to develop a broader culture of prevention.
