POOR
ECONOMY AND DEMOGRAPHICS
bull Suratrsquos Population has almost doubled within a decade from 28 million to 45 million
bull 131st richest city in the world with a GDP of US$40 Billion
bull 42 of global diamond cutting and polishing industry
bull 12 million textile workers merchants and traders
(Parikh et al 2013)
SOCIO-ECONOMIC ISSUES amp VULNERABILITYbull 64 of municipal land occupied by slumsbull Tendency to settle along creeks rivers and drainage channels
bull 20 of population (80 of which are migrants) live in slums
bull Migrant population identified as a challenge and most vulnerable
bull Increased risk of pluvial fluvial and tidal flooding
(Edge 2011 Kantor Ranni amp Unni 2006)
(Parikh et al 2013)
VULNERABILITY (CONTrsquoD)bull Surat slums have better access to water and sanitation than
others in Indiabull Sanitized toilets were available to 96 of households in 2010bull 87 of households have access to municipal sewerage systemsbull 94 collection efficiency for wastewater and solid human waste
bull Monsoon uncertainty places pressure on dam management
bull Proposed new infrastructurebull Storm Water Drainagebull Solid Waste Management Systemsbull Sewerage (Expansion and Improvement)bull Transportationbull Housing

bull End-to End Early Warning System (EWS)
bull Surat Climate Change Trust
bull Urban Health and Climate Resilience Centre
bull Urban Service Monitoring System
bull Promoting cool roof and Passive

bull Improved and sustainable governance of the early warning system
bull Provision of approximately four days warning
bull Safe failure of the Ukai Dam ndash managing flows to reduce flood damage and vulnerability of the poor(TARU and ACCRN 2011 ACCRN 2013 Bhat et al 2013 Brown et al 2012)
CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTHThe combination of location climate socio demographic
structure and development activities of Surat are highly conducive to the growth and transmission of vector borne diseases
Increase in disease transmission in extreme events due to
High population densities Damage and lsquodisruption of pre-existing sanitation services such as
piped water and sewage Disruption of public health programs in immediate post disaster
period Poor drainage and stagnant water in floods
(Kovats and Akhtar 2008 ISET 2011)
SURAT URBAN HEALTH AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE CENTREBuilding upon Suratrsquos strong health capacity to address the nature of health risks posed climate change in urban environments
bull Climate informed surveillance system early detection and prompt treatment to facilitate efficient planning and response
bull Minimize conditions favourable to vector survival and disease transmission environmental engineering biological measures and insecticides
bull Community participation in preventative measures mosquito nets repellents protective clothing and reduction of mosquito breeding sites etc
(ISET 2011 Edge 2008)
CONCLUSIO
NS
EFFECTIVENESS AND FUTUREIn-migration and urban expansion must remain central to planning
Program outreach mechanisms must be more accessible to the urban poor
ACCCRN a valuable stimulator
Surat has integrated climate change into urban planning
bull UHCRC a model for other cities
bull Surat Climate Change Trust has been formally integrated into city governance and planning network
bull Chamber of Commerce addressing housing for migrants
bull Finance secured private sector funding

CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTHThe combination of location climate socio demographic
structure and development activities of Surat are highly conducive to the growth and transmission of vector borne diseases
Increase in disease transmission in extreme events due to
High population densities Damage and lsquodisruption of pre-existing sanitation services such as
piped water and sewage Disruption of public health programs in immediate post disaster
period Poor drainage and stagnant water in floods

CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTHThe combination of location climate socio demographic
structure and development activities of Surat are highly conducive to the growth and transmission of vector borne diseases
Increase in disease transmission in extreme events due to
High population densities Damage and lsquodisruption of pre-existing sanitation services such as
piped water and sewage Disruption of public health programs in immediate post disaster
