Abstract

Climate change is a pressing global challenge, and India, as a developing nation with a significant population, faces unique challenges and opportunities in addressing it. This paper explores the public policies implemented by the Indian government to combat climate change, focusing on strategies for mitigation and adaptation. The study examines key policies, such as the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), state-level initiatives, and India's commitments under international frameworks like the Paris Agreement. Additionally, it highlights the role of renewable energy, afforestation, and sustainable development practices in India's climate strategy. The paper concludes with an evaluation of policy effectiveness, identifying gaps and recommending measures to strengthen India's response to climate change.
