India is home to one third of the world’s poor. Sustained and inclusive economic growth is therefore essential. The Government has recognised the importance of ensuring this growth is ‘green’ and ‘climate resilient’. They have put in place an advanced framework for tackling climate change, including a National Action Plan (NAPCC) with eight accompanying sectoral ‘missions’.
As a federal state, policy turns to action at the state level. However, a lack of resources and capacity in many states puts this at risk. CDKN is, therefore, focusing efforts at this level and providing the necessary support to ensure national policies are adapted to the local context and implemented effectively.
