Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are a non-binding action plan of a country on climate change mitigation, adaptation and green house gas emission reductions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had presented the gift of ‘Panchamrit’ – the five nectar elements — at COP 26 in Glasgow to deal with the challenges of climate change. These were later updated and adopted as NDCs for our country.
Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, while presenting the budget for 2023-24, resolved to take effective steps for transition of Himachal Pradesh as ‘Green Energy State’ by March 31, 2026. This is in consonance with NDCs.
