Karnataka Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Investment Program started in 2012. Tranche 2 Karnataka, the second and final phase of the project, was scheduled to start in 2016 and end in 2020. The objectives of the project are (i) assessing the impacts of climate change on the coast of India; (ii) preparing guidelines for adapting measures to ensure climate resilience in coastal protection and coastal infrastructure; (iii) providing specific recommendations for climate change adaptation for shoreline planning and design of subprojects; and (iv) providing training to coastal states including training of trainers in the adaptation guidelines.
