The Climate Change Division of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) looks after the issues related to climate change including the international negotiations and domestic policies and actions. India is a Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Paris Agreement and Kyoto Protocol.  Several domestic programmes\/ schemes have been initiated in the recent years for addressing climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major initiatives of the Government\ntowards combating climate change:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. National Action Plan on Climate Change\n(NAPCC):<\/strong> The Action plan covers 8 major missions on Solar, Enhanced Energy\nEfficiency, Sustainable Habitat, Water, Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem,\nGreen India, Sustainable Agriculture and Strategic Knowledge on Climate Change.<\/li>
  2. International Solar Alliance (ISA):<\/strong> ISA\nwas jointly launched by India and France, on the side-lines of CoP 21 in 2015.\nThe vision and mission of the alliance is to provide a dedicated platform for\ncooperation among solar resource rich countries that lie completely or partial between\nthe Tropics of Capricorn & Cancer.<\/li>
  3. State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC):<\/strong>\nState governments have drafted climate strategies aligned with the eight\nNational Missions under the NAPCC. The strategies focus on issues ranging from\nclimate mitigation, energy efficiency, and resource conservation to climate\nadaptation.<\/li>
  4. FAME Scheme for E-mobility: <\/strong>Union\nGovernment in 2015 launched Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and\nElectric vehicles (FAME). It is India\u2019s Scheme with an aim to boost sales of\neco-friendly vehicles in the country. It is a part of the National Mission for\nElectric Mobility.<\/li>
  5. Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana:<\/strong> The scheme\nprovides LPG connections to 5 crore BPL beneficiaries. The connections are\ngiven in the name of women beneficiaries to reduce their dependence on fossil\nfuels and conventional fuel like cow dung for cooking food, thus reducing air\npollution.<\/li>
  6. UJALA scheme:<\/strong> The scheme was launched in\n2015 with a target of replacing 77 crore incandescent lamps with LED bulbs. The\nusage of LED bulbs will not only result in reducing electricity bills but also\nhelp in environment protection.<\/li>
  7. Swachh Bharat Mission: <\/strong>Swachh Bharat\nAbhiyan (Clean India Movement) is a campaign that was launched on October 2,\n2014. The campaign seeks to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the\ncountry\u2019s cities and towns.<\/li>
  8. Push to renewable energy: <\/strong>India has\nemerged as a global leader in renewable energy, with investments in renewable\nenergy topping fossil fuel investments. After adopting its National Electricity\nPlan (NEP) in 2018, India remains on track to overachieve its \u201c2\u02daC compatible\u201d\nrated Paris Agreement NDC climate action targets.<\/li>
  9. Intended nationally determined contribution: <\/strong>India\u2019s\nINDC goals target to achieve 40% non-fossil-based power capacity by 2030 more\nthan a decade earlier than targeted. Given these positive signals, there is\nsignificant potential for the incoming government to increase the ambition of\nIndia\u2019s NDC to a \u201c1.5\u02daC compatible\u201d rating.<\/li>
  10. Single-Use Plastic Ban: <\/strong>India has\nrecently banned complete use of single use plastic in various sectors and\nindustries. This would pave a way not only to tackle air pollution but also\nwould prevent climate change.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Thus it can be seen that India is pushing hard not only to mitigate climate change but also to stop causes of climate change. Many steps has been taken but there is long way to go. India alone can\u2019t be successful in stopping climate change. A coordinated effort all across the globe is needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
