National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)
India's primary domestic framework for responding to climate change, the NAPCC was launched on 30 June 2008 and comprises eight national missions covering solar energy, water conservation, sustainable agriculture, the Himalayan ecosystem, sustainable habitats, energy efficiency, afforestation, and strategic knowledge. These missions are implemented through state-level action plans (SAPCCs — State Action Plans on Climate Change), which represent the bridge between national policy and sub-national delivery.
- Launched: 30 June 2008, under the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change
- Eight missions span both mitigation (solar, energy efficiency) and adaptation (water, Himalayan ecosystem, agriculture)
- National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change (NAFCC) established in August 2015 to support state and Union Territory adaptation projects, administered through NABARD
- India is also in the process of submitting a formal National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to the UNFCCC, integrating the multi-mission approach into a single comprehensive document
