Climate change is the greatest challenge humankind has ever had to deal with. The Earth\u2019s surface temperature has increased by 1.18\u00b0C since the late 19th Century<\/a>.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> It is predominantly caused by human activities releasing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> These gases trap heat close to our planet and accelerate global warming.<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In response, various countries have proposed a national action plan on climate change.<\/p>\r\n

India\u2019s National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

Perhaps the best known national action plan on climate change was published by India in 2008.<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The aim of their NAPCC was to create awareness for the threat posed by climate change and outline steps to tackle the issue.<\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span> It forms a multi-pronged, long-term and integrated approach to the challenges posed by climate change.<\/span>6<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Climate change is particularly pressing for India. Due to its huge population and high levels of poverty and inequality, the sub-continent stands to be one of the worst affected.<\/span>7<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Rapid changes in temperature would increase the stress on India\u2019s natural ecosystems, agriculture, and freshwater resources.<\/span>8<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Their NAPCC, therefore, intends to simultaneously advance India\u2019s development whilst meeting climate change targets.<\/span>9<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n

What is the core of India\u2019s NAPCC?<\/h2>\r\n

The core of India\u2019s NAPCC is formed of eight national missions<\/span>10<\/sup><\/a><\/span>:<\/p>\r\n
