The report is published as part of the HSBC Climate Partnership WWF-India’s living Ganga Programme. It presents an analysis of a macro-level vulnerability assessment based on secondary data used to identify vulnerable districts for further assessment and pilot adaptation projects. The study was conducted in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand within the Ganga basin. The Livelihoods Vulnerability Index Methodology (LVI-IPCC) was applied to the study.
