Output 14: Strengthened Regulatory and Quarantine SystemAn important activity is to develop rapid response (disaster response) plan and to strengthen post entry quarantine facilities for effective bio-security measures. With changing climate, new pests and diseases and other related plant and zoonotic diseases emerge, for e.g., recent outbreak of GALS and Bird Flu. It is the responsibility of BAFRA to control the spread of diseases by implementing quarantine measures, and movement control. Financial support from GCCA will be used to procure necessary protective facilities, develop standard operating procedures specific to the prioritized pests and diseases, equipment required to carry out containment measures and other expenditure during containment activities.
Output 15: National Food Testing Laboratory (NFTL) made Fully Functional to Regulate Genetic Modified Organism (GMO)With CC farmers/institutions may import GM seeds which can adapt to the changing climate to make food available to citizens. However some GM products may be unauthorized depending on the country’s policy and related legislation. Since BAFRA is the national food inspectorate, it will be responsible to regulate any unauthorized GMO in the country. To carry out this activity, NFTL will procure special equipment and train staff for operation and data analysis to regulate and detect unauthorised GMOs.
Output 16: Gathering and Dissemination of Climate Change InformationThe communication activities such as production of documentary, MTV, radio programs, panel discussion will create awareness among the people on climate helping them to understand about its emerging issues and how to go about it. They will also be informed how the climate change may cause a serious threat in agriculture and food security, reduce availability of water, harm ecological systems and reduce biodiversity etc, which are crucial for Bhutanese living. Publications like magazines and comics will share the innovative climate related stories in terms of agriculture, forestry and livestock highlighting how these activities would be helpful for environmental conservation. ICS will organise farmer’s quiz in the GCCA project areas to improve farmers' knowledge about impact -and how to adapt to climate change. These activities are also expected to strengthen the support from the local communities during the implementation of the sector-wide climate change activities.
Output 17: Policy / Strategic Research Coordinated & Conducted (CC Impact/Adaptation)This output pertains to CoRRB-secretariat who is engaged in research work at thematic level. It is also engaged in impact assessments and technology adoption studies. In order to support CCAP it is going to conduct climate change research and strategic assessments. The technology adoption studies will encompass the CC adaptation methods that the client Dzongkhags will implement as interventions.
