Welcome to the Homepage of the Post-Tsunami Environment Initiative Project .
Following their relief assistance, the UN system developed a Post-Tsunami Recovery Framework.
The Framework aids the Government of India in its post-tsunami rehabilitation and reconstruction
efforts. ‘Environment Sustainability’ is a critical component of the UN Recovery Framework. This
component is operationalised through this project titled ‘Post-Tsunami Environment
Initiative’. This project is jointly executed by the Nature Conservation Foundation (NCF), Mysore,
the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Bangalore and the Citizen
consumer and civic Action Group (CAG), Chennai.
The project aims to understand coastal vulnerability and resilience in the face of such natural
disasters within the Indian context, establish participatory ecological and community monitoring
systems, critically analyse developmental policy with respect to coast, and develop management
models for key sites along the coast.
