The study, supported by the Centre's department of science and technology as well as the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, has found that Il districts are at "very high" risk of both flood and drought, including Patna in Bihar; Alappuzha in Kerala; Charaideo, Dibrugarh, Sibsagar, South Salmara-Mankachar, and Golaghat in Assam; Kendrapara in Odisha, and Murshidabad, Nadia, and Uttar Dinajpur in West Bengal.
"This study is an effort to integrate vulnerability assessment with proneness to two hazards: flood and drought, and exposure to these hazards, to gain a comprehensive understanding of risk, using the framework proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change," said the study, titled District-Level Climate Risk Assessment for India: Mapping Flood and Drought Risks Using IPCC Framework.
