Project Brief

This is known as "program ViSTAR", which has been designed by Indo-Global Social Service Society (IGSSS), with an objective to develop Climate Resilience for a cluster of villages distributed across various climatic zones in India. Under this program, a specific study has been adopted by Fair Climate Fund India (FCFI) in the region of Bundelkhand, in Madhya Pradesh. This study has been designed to capture real time data from five different villages identified under Panna District of Bundelkhand (M.P.); followed by an assessment to evaluate various climate impacts under a pre-defined framework termed as “Sustainable Livelihood Framework” (SLF). The outcomes of the study shown that there is very high level of Climatic Risk involved in the Agricultural activities and in the Energy usage patterns.
