In order to promote both climate reduction and climate resilience, IMD-UNDP will collaborate. In important industries like transportation, health, MSMEs, and agriculture, clean energy infrastructure and emission-reduced technology will be implemented by IMD-UNDP. This involves establishing 85 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and 30 solar cold storage systems throughout the 10 States, as well as solarizing 150 healthcare facilities and 20 microbusinesses by IMD-UNDP.
With the help of climate information flow systems for 30 Gram Panchayats, resilient climate planning will be put on display at the local level. The programme by IMD-UNDP plans to train and skill over 2,000 people in order to create green businesses and jobs in industries like renewable energy. The same objectives of IMD-UNDP of decarbonization and sustainable development would necessitate greater climate partnerships, according to HokugoKyoko, Minister (Economic and Development), Embassy of Japan in India.
