help in the preservation and restoration of the environment. A green job contributes to and sustains the transition
to ecologically-sustainable modes of production and consumption. Green jobs help to:
• boost energy and ra material efficiency • minimise greenhouse gas emissions
• keep trash and pollutants under control • safeguard and restore ecosystems
• advocate for adaptation to the effects of climate change
. o does climate change impact us Also e plain the role of ational Action lan on limate hange A ) in
combating climate change.
Ans. The climate will alter as a result of the damage that has already been done. Excessive tree felling, for example, can
devastate the ecosystem creating climate change and natural disasters that makes it difficult for the living beings
to thrive. Even if individuals try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global warming will occur owing to the harm
already done in terms of tree felling and land use for agriculture, among other things. As a result, we must adjust to
these changes. This means, we'll have to figure out how to exist in the new climatic conditions. Farmers, for example,
will need to cultivate crops that can withstand drought conditions if the weather prediction predicts less rain.
In June 2008, the Government of India released the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) to address
climate change and related challenges. The NAPCC consists of eight missions in the areas of solar energy, improved
energy efficiency, habitat, water, sustaining Himalayan ecosystems, forestry, agriculture, and strategic knowledge
for climate change, that address issues relating to greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation to the adverse effects
of climate change on the environment, habitat, water resources, and agriculture.
