The national plan on climate change refers to the action plan which is considered for saving the natural environment and ecology of the country India. There are various steps and missions started by the Indian government under the “National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC)”. It was started in 2008 to mitigate the issues that are causing due to climate changes and to adopt several measures to resolve the issue.

Main body 

Environment and Ecology of the nation 

The environment refers to the biological, chemical and physical components which show changes in the earth as well as human lives. The ecology defines the relationship between the environment and its organisms. The climatic and “environmental or ecological issues” are related to “pollution, deforestation, global warming, and other broader issues”. The economy of the nation is suffering through various problems such as- 

  • Illegal logging and mining, 
  • Deforestation and dynamite fishing, 
  • Landslides in the coastal region, 
  • wildlife extinction and global warming

In this article, the issues are confronted or mitigated by the measures which are taken by the nation’s government. A balanced and proper ecology is important for the good being and prosperity of human lives.  

The integrated programs are launched by the government to increase the accounting of ecosystems to address the issues and the measures to solve them.  “Environment and Ecology” are the interrelated elements where the principles are used in science. The preservation of biodiversity of the planet is dependent on the two elements. The ecology consists of the human population to vary the scope and communities in the nation. Whereas the environment defines reducing waste, protecting coral reefs, and eliminating pollution. The scientists conduct different research to implement measures to mitigate these issues. 

National Action Plan on Climate Change 

The NAPCC “National  Action Plan on Climate Change” aims to develop and promote solar energy panels to reduce the expenses on electricity. The fossil-based energy saving option is the substitute for solar energy. It also recommends the energy-saving modes which are used in large industries and causing harmful smoke. The “trade energy-saving” certificates and finances for the “public-private partnership” have been implemented in the country to reduce the waste of non-renewable energies in large industries. The sustainable habitat and the water mission are also set a target of 20% improvement in the coming years. The “green India mission” was launched to increase forestry from 23 to 33% of India’s forest place.

Steps are taken by Government for climate change in India 

The “National Action Plan on Climate Change” needs to be coordinated to show the efficiency of the action plan which is taken by the government. The pro-active measures which are implemented in the action plan should be taken as a major step to challenge the severe consequences of climate change. The facilitation of “inter-ministerial coordination and guide policy” to suitable and relevant areas.  The “National Clean Energy Fund” was launched in the year 2010 to build clean and renewable energies for industries to reduce the waste of non-renewable energies. 

Missions under National Action Plan on Climate Change 

There are a total of 8 missions under the NAPCC which are: solar mission, enhanced energy efficiency, sustainable habitats, water mission. Himalayan ecosystem, green India mission, sustainable agricultural mission, and strategic knowledge for climate change. These eight missions were implemented by the Indian government to reduce waste and save ecological balance. For monitoring purposes, the government has planted the Montreal Protocol agreement. This agreement was made by the UN where all the policies, forms, norms and rules were mentioned that are mandatory to follow by every nation of this world. This protocol contains various rules, sources regarding the funds, phrases, timelines and obligations. 

The “State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC)” was formed in a few states of the country to check on its climatic conditions and to rescue factory waste to conserve the environment. The ecosystem resolver was planted in the mentioned places to conserve the rainwater for rescuing purposes. The reduction in emissions trading such as carbon emission is being reduced up to 25% in the country to save greenery. 

Conclusion  

In order to conclude this article, it can be said that the climatic conditions need to be addressed to a large extent. The environmental and ecological balance is mandatory to evaluate on a regular basis or it will be harmful to human lives. The “National Action Plan on Climate Change” implementation makes the environment better for future generations. It also reduces wastage and keeps the biodiversity factor in its natural form. The “India’s national action plan on climate change” states the steps and missions which are mandatorily followed by the country’s people and government to make the ecosystem more efficient. The different policies and agreements are launched in the country and in different states to mitigate the environmental issues.
