Abstract
Achieving Climate Action, UN Agenda 2030, is a challenge towards strengthening the resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. Climate-proofing of villages can be strategised through climate adaptation and complementary mitigation approaches, leading to climate-resilient rural communities with climate-resilient livelihoods in India. The chapter reviews the scope of rural developmental schemes and strategies that may lead to climate-resilient adaptation practices for rural communities. The first part of the chapter lays out the national perspective of climate action. The second step is to review the problems that rural communities face and investigate how rural development programs like MGNREGS, NRLM, PMAY-G, and other models can be used to converge to create climate resilient communities. Finally, understand how the localization of climate action enhance and strengthens the rural poor's resilience and adaptive capacity.
