National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)
8 Missions
The NAPCC is India's overarching domestic climate strategy, launched in 2008, structured around eight National Missions spanning energy, water, agriculture, forestry and knowledge generation. It operationalises India's climate response at the sectoral level, distinct from India's international commitments (NDCs) submitted under the UNFCCC.
- Launched: 2008, under the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change
- Eight missions: National Solar Mission; National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency; National Mission on Sustainable Habitat; National Water Mission; National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem; National Mission for a Green India; National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture; National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change
- Implementation is coordinated across multiple central ministries, with individual missions nodally housed in the relevant ministry (e.g., National Solar Mission under Ministry of New and Renewable Energy)
- States prepare complementary State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs) aligned with NAPCC missions
