The Kerala State Climate Change Adaptation Mission (KSCCAM), cleared by the State Cabinet on August 2, will serve as a monitoring and coordinating mechanism for climate change-related activities in line with the aim to make Kerala net carbon neutral by 2050.
The mission has six broad aims, according to an August 4 order issued by the State Environment department.
To be headed by a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), it will look at how the State’s economic development can be taken forward by aligning it with long-term targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting cleaner technologies.
