About Arunachal Pradesh SAPCC
SAPCC Overview
Arunachal Pradesh SAPCC 1.0 was prepared with the Department of Environment and Forests as the state nodal agency. A State Steering Committee chaired by the Chief Secretary and sectoral working groups brought together line departments, research institutions, academia, civil society and technical experts. Arunachal Pradesh SAPCC 1.0 applies the national climate mission framework to Arunachal Pradesh's mountain ecosystems, forests, river basins, climate-sensitive livelihoods and dispersed settlements.
