Explain the National Action Plan on Climate change.
The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) is a comprehensive policy initiative launched by the Government of India in June 2008 to address the challenges posed by climate change while maintaining the country's path of sustainable development. Rooted in the country's developmental priorities, the plan is an integral part of India’s domestic response to global climate issues. It aims to enhance the ecological sustainability of India’s development path and encourage a shift toward low-carbon and climate-resilient growth.
The NAPCC is guided by the principles enshrined in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), particularly the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.” India’s approach, as reflected in the NAPCC, acknowledges its developmental imperatives and seeks to integrate climate action with its economic and social development objectives.
The NAPCC is built around eight core “National Missions,” which represent a multi-pronged, long-term, and integrated strategy for achieving key goals in climate adaptation and mitigation. Each mission under the NAPCC outlines specific objectives, targets, implementation mechanisms, and governance structures. These missions are designed to promote understanding of climate change, adaptation, mitigation, energy efficiency, and natural resource conservation.

National Solar Mission (NSM):
Launched with the objective of promoting the development and use of solar energy for power generation and other applications, the National Solar Mission aims to make solar energy affordable and accessible. The mission's target was initially to deploy 20,000 MW of grid-connected solar power by 2022, which was later revised to 100,000 MW (100 GW). The mission supports both grid-connected and off-grid applications and encourages domestic manufacturing of solar panels and technologies. -
National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE):
The NMEEE seeks to strengthen the market for energy efficiency in India by creating conducive policies, financing mechanisms, and institutional capacities. It operates through several innovative mechanisms, such as the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme, which allows trading of energy efficiency certificates among industries, and the Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency (MTEE), which aims at accelerating the shift to energy-efficient appliances. The mission contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy savings. -
