Sreekesh, Professor, Centre for the Study of Regional Development, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University; and Dr. Srikanta K. Panigrahi, Director General, Distinguished Fellow, Indian Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD)

India, as we understand, is now prioritizing climate adaptation and looking at a bottom-up approach through ground-level initiatives, while mitigation measures will continue. Even as efforts for emission cuts remain critical, reducing the vulnerability of communities across the country is now the focus of climate action in the country. The speakers will address the issue of India’s climate action plan; the changing global dynamics and India’s stance; and the way forward
