- Development of climate co-benefit methodologies of Indian circular economy and forest programmes**Task description**:
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. 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.

The overall objective of this project is to strengthen capacities of selected decision makers at the national and state level to develop innovative approaches for the implementation of India’s NDCs and far-reaching climate policy.

The Climate Change Mitigation Expert is involved in the following work packages:

- Work Package 2: Development of an assessment framework for climate co-benefits with a focus on Circular Economy;
- Work Package 3: Development of an assessment framework for climate co-benefits with a focus on forestry;
- Work Package 4: Development and pilot of a climate co-benefit methodology in the focus area of Circular Economy;
- Work Package 5: Development and pilot of a climate co-benefit methodology in the focus area of forestry;
- Work Package 6: Development of roadmaps for using climate co-benefit methodologies for impacts of national schemes and programmes in the focus area of Circular Economy, including sector guidelines on how to calculate climate co-benefits;
- Work Package 7: Development of roadmaps for using climate co-benefit methodologies for impacts of national schemes and programmes in the focus area of forestry, including sector guidelines on how to calculate climate co-benefits;
- Work Package 8: Conceptualization of training measures for climate action and climate co-benefit approaches in the focus area of circular economy, including the potentials of carbon markets and pricing for climate change mitigation and adaptation;
- Work Package 9: Conceptualization of training measures for climate action and climate co-benefit approaches in the focus area of forestry, including the potentials of carbon markets and pricing for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
