The main objective of the workshop was to understand the potential adaptation options in response to extreme events such as floods, droughts and heavy precipitation etc.; develop stakeholder driven prioritization of proposed adaptation options; and identify adaptation turning points and pathways. The prioritization was done under various categories under which the options were clubbed. This included options that were technological, social, ecological, structural and financial. In view of the prioritized option, discussions followed on turning points in adaptation options in changing climatic scenarios in future wherein the frequency of extreme events is likely to increase with increase in precipitation and change in peak time of seasons.
