KEY POINTS
· With support from bilateral agencies, States initially took different approaches in the first round of State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs).
· As the next round of the SAPCCs are being drawn up, under recommendations from the Centre, the focus ought to be on integrating the response to climate change with the development plan in different departments.
On integration
· The integration should take place at district and sub-district levels.
· There will not be enough from the Green Climate Fund, Adaptation Fund and bilateral agencies to support all States unless new sources are found.
· The coal cess in India is a good initiative, and as others have pointed out, could be used for environment and climate-related expenses.
· If States are to develop SAPCCs that would ultimately add up to India’s NDCs, then the country needs reliable greenhouse gas inventories.
· Individual research groups and the civil society initiative, GHG Platform India would be useful in synchronising and co-ordinating State and Central mitigation programmes.
· States must also develop their programmes with longer timelines, with mid-course correction based on lessons and successes that can be integrated into the next stage of the plan.
