• IRADe with the support of Department of Science and Technology (DST) assessed the socio-economic vulnerability of Himachal Pradesh to Climate Change and recommended adaptation measures to strengthen the farming system.
• Another study by IRADe in 2018, supported by MOEF&CC assessed the climate impacts on food security and livelihood in three states namely Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. The study presented that the changes in climatic conditions will lead to a decrease in the yield of fine grains such as wheat and rice whereas an increase in the yield of coarse cereals such as maize.
• IRADe for Ministry of Urban Development, GoI and Ministry of Earth Science, GoI has also assessed the disaster resilience of 10 JnNURM cities and climate-induced vulnerability of coastal regions respectively.
