Key Action Update History
Management Response: [Added: 2014/01/21]
In the INC and SNC, a strong coordination mechanism has been established amongst the different sectors involved in their preparation. These include universities, institutions, state and central government, etc. The Third National Communication will ensure stronger ownership by other stakeholders including civil society groups, civil society organizations, etc,.

Management Response: [Added: 2014/01/21]
The NIMS was initiated in SNC, but required considerable streamlining. In the TNC, a national emission factor database would be developed/revised/updates for key sources and country specific factors as per different IPCC inventory categories that belong to different sectors, regions based on field studies, laboratory measurements, surveys on industries, municipalities, households, etc,. There will be an increased accuracy of GHG inventory through the use of tier-III methodologies. The latest IPCC guidelines and good practice guidance recommended by the UNFCCC would be adopted.

The IPCC format is being followed by participating organisations/institutes that are technically competent for Indian conditions on inventory methodologies and IV&A. However, the recommendation has been noted and capacity strengthening initiatives is being stressed under most of the components in the Third National Communication.

This recommendation is being incorporated under the Third National Communication which will refine the existing GHG inventory estimation by developing new country specific emission factors (EFs) or by improving some existing EFs and by improving the activity data for some of the key categories identified in SNC. A wider and more regionally spread broader technology coverage and year-on-year measurement of EFs in key sources would be done. Key source estimation would involve both level and trend estimation.

MoEFCC | 2015/01 | Completed | Included in 3rd NatCom |
Management Response: [Added: 2014/01/21]
During the INC and SNC climate projections were made using only one GCM and RCM. During the SNC, climate projections were made using Hadley Centre HadRM3 and A1B scenario. Post SRES, new scenarios based on Representative Concentration Pathways have been developed. Climate change projections during TNC will be made using the model outputs from the CMIP-5 project for the different RCPs.

One of the outcomes of TNC is ?increased understanding of adaptation framework, measures and possible projects?. This will be achieved through different outputs including: development of spatial vulnerability profiles in GIS format at sub-regional level based on vulnerability indices for different sectors, sub-sectors at sub-regional covering parameters such as, cropping systems and watershed level; documented ranking of most vulnerable natural ecosystem, crops and water resources at sub-regional level for India, etc. Another outcome is ?improved understanding of, and appropriate actions planned for addressing vulnerability to climate change at different sectors and regions.? This will be achieved through development of multiple impact assessment models for adoption, including integrated assessment models; development of district level vulnerability assessment reports
