Climate Change Mitigation : Five Year Plans (FYPs)Climate Change Mitigation : Five Year Plans (FYPs) Five Year Plans: Since 1951, provide strategic direction for the Government of India for the 

following five years FYPs have considered environment protection/sustainable development/climate changep / p / g– 5th FYP (1974 – 1979) strategized growth with sustainable development in various sectors ‐ agriculture, forestry, 

water, energy and non‐renewable resources – 8th FYP (1992 – 1997): one of the stated six main objectives was “Strengthening the infrastructure (energy, 

transport communication irrigation) in order to support the growth process on a sustainable basis”transport, communication, irrigation) in order to support the‐ growth process on a sustainable basis”– 9th FYP (1997 – 2002): “ensuring environmental sustainability of the development process through social 

mobilization and participation of people at all levels” was among the key priorities– 11th FYP (2007 – 2012): climate policy matured from concerns about energy conservation to energy efficiency. The 

plan also recognized the need to incorporate adaptation programmes relating to watershed management, coastal zone planning and regulation, forestry management, agricultural technologies and practices, and health, discussions on CDM 

Twelfth FYP (2012‐2017) : ‘Faster inclusive and more sustainable growth’Twelfth FYP (2012 2017) :  Faster, inclusive, and more sustainable growth– Concept of sustainability forms the core– Extensive focus on issues of water, land use, environment, forestry and wildlife– Science and technology to play a critical role , there is an ambition to increase investment in R&D from 1% to 2% of gy p y

GDP– Climate Change Action Programme (CCAP) ‐ Aims at advancing scientific research, information and assessment of 

the phenomenon of CC, building an institutional and analytical capacity for research and studies in the area of CC (National Carbonaceous Aerosols Programme (NCAP), Long Term Ecological Observatories (LTEO), and Coordinated(National Carbonaceous Aerosols Programme (NCAP), Long Term Ecological Observatories (LTEO), and Coordinated Studies on Climate Change for North East region (CSCCNE) (MOEF+DST+MOES, etc.)
