 Ensure reducing the risk arising
due to climate change
 Augmenting farm income.

Focus towards adaptation efforts and makes agriculture more
resilient and sustainable.

International Food Policy Research Institute
Common features of climate change related
policies in South Asia







Unlike global climate policy, which does not focus on agriculture,
South Asian countries have emphasized policies for adapting to climate
change on agriculture.
 In the absence of legislation, national action plans (NAPs) are currently the
most common instrument for adaptation policies
The NAPs of all the South Asian countries specially mention the need
to address the concerns of the farming community and rural poor as
one of the guiding principles of climate policy.
Subsidies have been a mechanism for promoting adaptation in
economic development programs.
While policy statements are often elaborate, mechanisms for putting
them into practice are often missing.
 This is particularly true for funding adaptation and mitigation programs.

International Food Policy Research Institute
Priority “adaptation” focus in agriculture


Strengthening food security programs




Diversifying crops and introducing stress tolerant
commodities

Improving water management


Drinking and agriculture

Improving land and land use management
 Enhancing coastal zone management
 Building capacity and strengthening institutions
 Raising public awareness


International Food Policy Research Institute
Core agriculture policies in South Asian
countries
Improved seeds, fertilizer, irrigation expansion,
watershed development, provision of insurance
and weather forecast
 Subsidies more pronounced (except Sri Lanka)
 Groundwater development is largely private




Electricity for pumping is highly subsidized

Conclusion
Policies made both positive and negative impacts
 Water is a major issue of concern






Water made significant contribution in South Asia




Adaptation, mitigation, resilience and sustainability

Water policies are being messed-up




Drought or flood or fall /rise in water table

Needs serious attention to correct for improving efficiency

Need to enhance capacity of different stakeholders


Policy analysis, formulation and implementation

International Food Policy Research Institute
Policies, technologies and
institutions need attention
for a win-win solution

  • 1. Implications of Government Policies in South Asian Countries on Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation and Resilience in Agriculture N K Tyagi, Pramod K Aggarwal, P K Joshi and Divya Pandey International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi 110 012 India E-mail: p.joshi@cgiar.org

International Food Policy Research Institute
  • 9. Common features of climate change related policies in South Asia     Unlike global climate policy, which does not focus on agriculture, South Asian countries have emphasized policies for adapting to climate change on agriculture.  In the absence of legislation, national action plans (NAPs) are currently the most common instrument for adaptation policies The NAPs of all the South Asian countries specially mention the need to address the concerns of the farming community and rural poor as one of the guiding principles of climate policy. Subsidies have been a mechanism for promoting adaptation in economic development programs. While policy statements are often elaborate, mechanisms for putting them into practice are often missing.  This is particularly true for funding adaptation and mitigation programs. International Food Policy Research Institute
  • 10.
