  Encouraging resilience and adaptation to climate change impacts.
                      Generating long-term employment opportunities in sustainable industries.
                      Advancing technological innovations that drive eco-friendly solutions.

                  4.  How does climate change impact us? Also explain the role of National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)
                    in combating climate change.
                 Ans.  Adapting  to climate change  is crucial  as global warming continues to impact  ecosystems, weather  patterns,
                    and agriculture. Even with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, past environmental damage has already
                    altered the climate. To survive in these changing conditions, people must develop strategies such as cultivating
                    drought-resistant crops, implementing water conservation techniques, and improving disaster preparedness.

                     The Government of India's National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), launched in 2008, outlines eight
                    missions focused on renewable energy, water conservation, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem protection.
                    By investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, promoting sustainable practices, and enhancing public awareness,
                    societies can better adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and ensure long-term environmental stability..
                  5.  What are Green Skills? List few areas in which green skills can impact sustainable development.

                 Ans.  Green skills are the knowledge, abilities, and practices needed to support a sustainable and environmentally
                    friendly economy. These skills  help individuals  and industries reduce waste, conserve energy, and minimise
                    environmental impact.
                    The following are some of the ways in which green skills influence long-term development:
                     utilising renewable energy (for example, solar and wind energy)
                     water and waste management
                     rainwater gathering

                     energy conservation
                     pollution reduction

                                                                                        21 st  Century   #Initiative
              C.  Competency-based/Application-based question.                              Skills  #Leadership & Responsibility
                  The world is seeing extreme hot and cold weather due to climate change. It is important that we humans embrace
                  environment friendly methods. List 4 such methods.
                 Ans.  We can protect our environment in a variety of ways:

                   Cultivating drought-resistant crops.
                   Implementing water conservation techniques.
                   Promoting renewable energy.
                   Investing in climate-resilient infrastructure.
