State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCC)

ABOUT SAPCC

The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), GOI has formulated a National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) for combating Climate Change. The NAPCC contains 8 Missions, outlining the objectives of each Mission, the existing activities, Policy frame work and has set targets under each Mission for different activities.

The MoEF&CC had advised all the State Governments and UTs to prepare similar State Action Plan for Climate Change relevant to the particular state or UT. As per the guidelines issued by the MoEF&CC, a State Steering Committee was constituted by the GOP for formulation of Puducherry State Action Plan on Climate Change (PSAPCC).
