This poses an ideal opportunity to implement a well-integrated and vertically coordinated climate change response. In particular, structured, practical and long-term capacity building programmes are needed for all tiers of government, as is the integration of climate change into sectoral policies and plans.

India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) was created in 2008. This broad national policy was the basis on which the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) was prepared. India’s federal structure distributes powers at national and state levels, and the implementation of the NAPCC is envisioned through the formulation of State Action Plans for Climate Change (SAPCC). Implementation of these will require clear Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems and access to finance.

Similarly, the NDCs can inform urban policies and priority setting.
