The First Eco Village Development (EVD) National Stakeholders’ Dialogue in India was held in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, on June 28th, 2016. The dialogue was jointly organised by INSEDA, WAFD, INFORSE South Asia and CANSA. It served as a multi-stakeholder forum to share the Eco Village Development concept with various practitioners and policymakers and to brainstorm on the effective mainstreaming of EVD into India and Indian states’ development agenda.The 45 participants were a mix of national climate negotiators, representatives of Indian ministries and the government, researchers, academics, civil society organisations, practitioners, environmental activists, private sector representatives, EVD beneficiaries and journalists. The main objective of this dialogue was to introduce the EVD concept as a model of a protean and integrated approach to development and climate change mitigation and adaptation in India. By involving the beneficiaries in the dialogue and inviting them to share their personal experiences with EVD, it was hoped to create a more user-input driven and consultative map for EVD scale up and concept refinement.By providing a space for a multidisciplinary group to have candid exchanges on environmental and developmental challenges, the dialogue mined some useful strategies for scaling up EVD and enhancing its effectiveness.
