Jharkhand green energy task force holds first meeting, focusses on draft Terms of Reference

The Jharkhand Task Force for Sustainable Just Transition met Monday to deliberate upon a draft Terms of Reference (TOR) and said a series of consultations with key stakeholders such as industries, business sectors, PSUs, and civil society organisations will be held.

Macro-level mapping of coal mining and its impact on the local economy, a pilot study of coal mining closure based on SOPs developed by the Coal Controller, mapping of earnings from other just transition initiatives taken by international governments, and developing a climate-free agricultural practice were also some of the key details that emerged from the first meeting of the task force.
