This case study in India by South Asia Rural Reconstruction Association (SARRA) documents the experiences of clusters of small settlements in Tirupati District, Andhra Pradesh — predominantly inhabited by Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities — in confronting extreme weather events, particularly droughts and cyclones. It highlights collective community responses to manage climate-related risks and to build resilience by addressing land rights and improving access to agricultural resources. The study is prepared with the support of government agriculture officials, elected village leaders, and local communities. The study aims to contribute to mainstreaming land rights in climate change discourse, undertaken as part of GFAiR’s Collective Action on Land Tenure and Climate Change, coordinated by ANGOC and funded by the European Commission.
