Indo-German Support Project for Climate Action in India

On-going     Bilateral
01 Apr 2021 to 31 Mar 2026

Description

The Indian government is targeting an unconditional reduction in emissions by 45% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, according to Indian NDC. The project supports the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) with the coordination and implementation of Indian climate and biodiversity policies. The project aims to strengthen capacities of selected decision makers at the national and state level to develop innovative approaches for implementation of India’s NDCs and climate policy. The project develops models for public-private sector collaboration implementing demonstration projects in selected states to establish a climate co-benefit roadmap. Aligned to priorities of the MoEFCC, project activities focus on two selected areas: circular economy and biodiversity. The project implements the interface function for IKI projects in India to foster synergies.
