Introduction<br />

Project Description and Goals<br />

This project evaluates the design of the eight missions<br />

of the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Action</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> on <strong>Climate</strong><br />

<strong>Change</strong> (NAPCC). Similar criteria have been<br />

used to study all the missions, a strategy that enables a<br />

reader to review them individually and across the board<br />

for any single criterion. By and large, the scope of the<br />

project has been limited by the principles laid out in the<br />

Prime Minister’s Council document that was published<br />

in 2008.<br />

The purpose of this exercise has been to produce an overall<br />

assessment of the design of India’s climate missions<br />

based on interviews of experts in particular domains who<br />

also understand climate change and/or specific aspects<br />

of the missions. The study aims to provide policy makers,<br />

academics and researchers, civil society groups and others<br />

a snapshot of the missions as perceived by the experts<br />

in India at this time.<br />

The authors hope that the outputs would enable the<br />

government to make appropriate corrections when they<br />

undertake mid-stream reviews. The results of the study<br />

would also be useful to the future design of climate policy,<br />

relating to mitigation as well as adaptation, in specific<br />
