Focused on enhancing climate resilience in agriculture, improving production practices, and building capacities of supporting institutions. Key areas include livestock, coastal fisheries, forests, health, and water resources.
Why does it stand out?
Assessed district vulnerability across 19 parameters and classify risk levels(high-low).
Designed sector-specific adaptation interventions with annual budgets until 2030.
Dedicated capacities through dedicated bodies like the Chief Minister’s Governing Council, State Climate Change Cell, Climate Change Working Groups, District Climate Change Cells, and Sectoral Climate Change Cells.
