The Economic Survey for 2008-09 tabled in Parliament today states that India holds that the planetary atmospheric space is a common resource. It says that in tackling the challenge of climate change, both production and consumption patterns need to be addressed, with the willingness to address lifestyle issues. Availability and/or dissemination of existing climate friendly technologies and goods to developing countries as public goods and at affordable costs is essential to enhance the actions of developing countries towards pursuing sustainable development technologies.
The Survey states that India released its National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) on June 30, 2008 to outline its strategy to meet the challenge of climate change. This Action Plan identifies measures that promote the objectives of sustainable development of India while also yielding co-benefits for addressing climate change. Eight National Missions, form the core of the National Plan.
