Analysis, Feasibility, and Proposal of the Framework of the Na-tional Climate Change Adaptation Program

Climate change is a phenomenon that is caused by the increase in the concentration of green-house gases in the atmosphere and its effects on the meteorological and environmental patterns, and has caused things such as temperature increase, frequent droughts, decrease in rainfall, sudden floods, and changes in wind and humidity patterns. The importance of climate change for Iran is great; Because the country is facing problems such as continuous droughts, reduction of water reserves, and negative effects on agriculture and economy. The main challenges of these changes include the lack of specific plans and limited infrastructure to implement adapta-tion programs, political and administrative issues, and lack of community awareness about climate change. Coordinated decisions and cooperation with other countries and international institutions also create other challenges. In this research, based on the (Driving force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) DPSIR framework, the existing situation has been analyzed, concrete examples related to it have been mentioned, and finally, the framework of the national climate change adaptation program has been presented. The framework of the proposed national cli-mate change adaptation program titled Determining the position, Preparation and action, Im-plementation of strategies, and Monitoring, evaluation and rehabilitation (DPIM), includes 4 main parts: 1- Position determination, 2- Preparation and action, 3- Implementation of strate-gies, and 4- Monitoring, evaluation, and rehabilitation with a total of 16 executive steps.
