Training modules on “Climate Change, its Impact and Adaptation’ presented at workshop at MANAGE on 16th July 2009 Service delivery agents play a significant role in helping rural communities to deal with risks emanating from climate variability and climate change. They can be active promoters of adaptation measures and support vulnerable communities in building capacity to better cope with adverse impacts of climate change. The Vulnerability Assessment and Enhancing Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change in Semi-Arid Areas in India (V&A), supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), has therefore identified the agriculture extension system as a key entry point for effective climate change adaptation support.
