Climate Change Missions in all districts of T.N.

July 14, 2022

The Tamil Nadu government has established District Climate Change Missions in all 38 districts. The missions will be headed by the Collectors as Mission Directors. The District Forest Officers will function as Climate Officers.
The missions will help strengthen the government’s climate response at the grassroots.
The missions will create strong policy support across all sectors of governance, devise strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and bench¬mark industries to move towards green manufacturing. They will also promote eco¬friendly technologies, such as solar and wind energy technologies, biodegradable packaging and e-¬vehicles.
Educating local communities in the management of climate change and creating technologies for evidence based green models for adaptation and practical models for green mobility are the other objectives of the missions.
The government has initially sanctioned ₹ 3.80 crore for 38 district missions which will function under the supervision of the Tamil Nadu Climate Change Mission.
