"National Mission for a Green India", tool for climate adaptation and mitigation - MoEF releases a draft document for consultation.

One of the eight Missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). The mission recognizes that climate change phenomenon will seriously affect and alter the distribution, type and quality of natural resources of the country. The NAPCC addresses the urgent and critical concerns of sustainable development and identifies the close linkage of the economy with its natural resource base, and cautions that climate-sensitive sectors such as forestry may face a major threat because of the projected changes in climate. This will have repercussion for livelihoods of people in general, and forest dependant communities in particular.

The Green India Mission considers the “greening” as a tool for climate adaptation and mitigation, aiming to enhance ecosystem services like carbon sequestration and storage (in forests and other ecosystems), hydrological services and biodiversity; along with provisioning services like fuel, fodder, small timber and NTFPs.

The Ministry has invited feedback and comments on the Mission document.The Mission will be finalised after a series of public consultations to be undertaken across the country starting June 11.
