4. Conclusion
What Is Climate Change
Change in long term weather patterns is termed
as climate change.

The climate change has resulted in global

warming as earth has warmed unprecedently over
the last few decades.

Climate Change is a serious environmental

concern.

affected by climate change so here’s

India Action Plan On

Climate Change
The main target of all these missions is to promote
sustainable development
Deaths Per Y ear Are Linked With Climate
Change
 National Solar Mission

1 . The mission was launched in January 2 0 1 0 by the Government of India

2 . It had a set a target of 2 0 ,0 0 0 MW of grid-connected solar power by 2 0 2 2 . It

was revised in June 2 0 1 5 to 1 ,0 0 ,0 0 0 MW by 2 0 2 2 . The total cost for up-
gradation to 1 0 0 GW solar power capacity would be $ 9 4 Billion.

3 . It provides Energy security ,Mitigates the adverse impacts due to Climate

change ,Reduces pollution and health benefits also reduce dependence on
fossil fuels that put a strain on foreign reserves and ecology with this mission
the solar manufacturing sector will get a boost

4 . India is a tropical country where sunshine is available for longer hours per day
in aggregate incident radiation of about 5 0 0 0 trillion kWh/yr. This is too
higher than the current total energy consumption. Hence solar energy has the
potential to be a great source of future energy.
 National Mission F or
Sustainable Habitat
1 . The National Mission for Sustainable Habitat was launched in 2 0 1 0 . This program
predominantly concentrates on how cities can cope with the new challenges that
urban dwellers will have to face due to climate change. National Mission for
Sustainable Habitat’s main goal is to make sure that cities are resilient to face the
aftermath effects of climate change. This topic would be of importance in the IAS
Exam for both Prelims and Mains.

2. The objective of this mission was to Design the buildings in such a way that energy
demand is optimized and make sure that there are improvements in energy efficiency,
Facilitate the growth of small and medium cities, management of solid and liquid
waste, special focus on the development of technology for generating power from
waste, improve advanced warning systems to tackle extreme weather, improve the
ability of habitats to adapt to climate change by improving the resilience of
infrastructure, community-based disaster management and to do some changes in
the legal and regulatory framework
 National Water Mission

1 . National Water Mission was launched in 2 0 1 1 . With the per capita availability of
water-reducing every year, reducing groundwater tables, prolonged droughts,
floods due to excess rains water conservation and storage is a cause of very
significant concerns for every nation

2. The main purpose of this mission is to conserve water, Minimize its wastage, and to
Manage water resources in such a way that there is an equal distribution of water
across the nation.

3. Therefore, this mission took the objective to increase water use efficiency by 2 0 %
through regulations, differential entitlements and pricing . Water needs of urban
areas is to be met through recycling of wastewater. Water requirements of coastal
cities are to be met through the adoption of low-temperature desalination
technologies .Consult with states to ensure that basin-level management strategies
are made to deal with variability in rainfall and river flows due to climate change.
National Mission F or Green India

1 . Green India Mission was launched in 2 0 1 4 . The primary aim is to protect, restore and
enhance India’s diminishing forest cover

2. This mission took the objective to increase the growth in forest to 5 million hectares and
increase the quality of forest cover in another 5 million hectares non-forest lands. To
increase the quality of degrading moderately dense forests to 1 .5 million hectares ,
ecologically restore open forests which are being degraded to 3 million hectares ,
grasslands revival to 0 .4 million hectares , wetlands revival to 0 .1 0 million hectares

3. ecological restoration of shifting cultivation areas, mangroves, scrub, ravines, cold deserts,
& abandoned mining areas to 1 .8 million hectares with different sub-targets, increase in
forest cover in urban areas and its outskirts to 0 .2 0 million hectares and increase in forest
and tree cover on marginal agricultural lands/fallows and other non-forest lands which
comes under agroforestry to 3 million hectares.
What We Should Do To Help E nd
This Issue
Get Charged Up With
Use Energy Wisely
Renewables

Eat For A climate Stable

Consume Less, Waste Less
Planet

Spread Awareness Divest From Fossil Fuels

The world must come together to confront
climate change. There is little scientific
dispute that if we do nothing, we will face
more drought, famine and mass
displacement that will fuel more conflict
for decades
Conclusion
Human-induced climate change has contributed to changing patterns of
extreme weather across the globe, from longer and hotter heat waves to
heavier rains. Extreme weather is on the rise, and the indications are that it
will continue to increase, in both predictable and unpredictable ways. From
a broad perspective, all weather events are now connected to climate
change. While natural variability continues to play a key role in extreme
weather, climate change has shifted the odds and changed the natural
limits, making certain types of extreme weather more frequent and more
intense.

Future is in our hand so make decision wisely you want to sit in the lap of
suffocating atmosphere or in the lap of breathtaking nature
