Meenangadi grama panchayat in Wayanad district of Kerala has launched a climate change literacy campaign as part of the second phase of its carbon-neutral project after an interval of two years.
The project aims to offset greenhouse gas emissions through a series of environment-friendly methods. The initiative was launched on June 5, 2016 after assessing carbon emissions caused by electricity and fuel consumption in all the 9,000 houses in the panchayat and emissions from vehicles. This was followed by an assessment of carbon emissions from trees. However, the project was suspended following the outbreak of COVID-19.
