Uttarakhand Action Plan on Climate Change

The state of Uttarakhand is most vulnerable to climate mediated risks. Mountainous regions are vulnerable to climate change and have shown “above average warming” in the 20th century. The Uttarakhand Action Plan on Climate Change (UAPCC) has been formulated in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). The UAPCC integrates the action plan of Uttarakhand with the ongoing and proposed developmental programmes in the state, and in tandem with the eight national missions along with the principles and guidelines listed out in the NAPCC.
