Based on a climate co-benefits approach, the Indo-German Support Project for Climate Action in India supports the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change to address untapped potentials of Indian policies and programs to strengthen its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). It develops models for public-private sector collaboration and implements demonstration projects in selected states to establish a climate co-benefit roadmap. The project focuses on the two areas circular economy/resource efficiency and forests/biodiversity, given their great potential for measuring and accounting climate co-benefits of individual activities.
