In News: The Tamil Nadu government has established District Climate Change Missions in all 38 districts.

The missions will be headed by the Collectors as Mission Directors.
The District Forest Officers will function as Climate Officers.
The missions will help to strengthen the government’s climate response at the grassroots.
The Collectors will have to prepare district-level climate change mitigation and adaptation plans, build capacity and provide inputs for low-carbon, climate-resilient development plans.
The Collectors will also work towards strengthening Climate Smart Villages and create bio-shields in the coastal areas.

Significance

The missions will create a strong policy support across all sectors of governance; devise strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and bench-mark industries to move towards green manufacturing.
They will also promote eco-friendly technologies, such as solar and wind energy technologies, biodegradable packaging and e-vehicles.
Community Participation: Educating local communities in the management of climate change and creating technologies for evidence-based green models for adaptation and practical models for green mobility are the other objectives.
