Projects related to NAMAs
 State Action Plans for Climate Change under preparation in five
states- Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh &
Kerala and the UT of Lakshadweep
 It is possible to incorporate NAMAs related activities in SAPCCs
 SAPCC capacity building could include NAMAs implementation
related capacity building.
 Enhancing state government participation in design and
implementation of NAMAs is possible through the SAPCC
project.
 Enabling Activities for Preparation of India's Second National
Communication to UNFCCC
 It could provide inputs for priority sectors and support designing
of NAMAs

Knowledge Sharing for designing & implementing
NAMAs through Climate Change Community
o
Community can post queries, e-discussions, e-consultations
to get feedback from stakeholders on designing &
implementing NAMAs.
o
It can enhance awareness on NAMAs among stakeholders.
o
It can act as a discussion forum to address concerns and
share ideas to improve NAMAs design and implementation.
o
Action groups involving members with different expertise
can provide inputs for NAMAs design.
o
Capacity building and training programs for stakeholders on
designing & implementing NAMAs could be organized.
