The Maharashtra government has set up a panel to monitor implementation of the Maharashtra State Action Plan for Climate Change (MSAPCC).
The panel is a step by the Maharashtra government to accelerate its initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet climate goals in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
The panel will be headed by a director and experts from climate finance, climate mitigation, climate adaption and a project consultant.
The MSAPCC is a comprehensive strategy developed by the state government to study the impact of carbon footprint and mitigate climate action. The initiatives are in sync with the National Plan on Climate Change (NPCC).
It must be noted that the NPCC was introduced in 2008 under the guidance of the Prime minister’s council on climate change, to identify different strategies to promote climate change-related issues and initiate action to tackle the same.
