Tamil Nadu has become a forerunner in climate action by announcing three major missions namely Climate Change; Biodiversity Conservation and Greening; and Wetlands.
The state government has issued necessary orders with required budgetary provisions. The Japanese government is providing financial support for the projects.
The Tamil Nadu government signed a memorandum of understanding with the Japan International Cooperation Agency for climate change response through the greening project in March this year.
The Tamil Nadu Biodiversity Conservation and Greening Project (TBGP) aims at climate change response, with an outlay of Rs 920.52 crore. The project will be implemented over a period of eight years.
The major objective of the project will be mitigating climate change through improvement of ecosystems, combined with socio-economic development.
