Indian state devises climate change action plan
An eastern Indian state is responding to the threats posed by a worldwide rise in temperature by outlining its intention to develop a climate change action plan, which will reduce the carbon emissions the state produces.Orissa, located on the Bay of Bengal, has established an inter-departmental co-ordinating committee to draw up the plan, NDTV reports.Plans were confirmed by P K Jena, Orissa`s state energy secretary, who expressed his commitment to sustainable growth and desire to create a climate change action plan.The World Bank has helped state representatives draw up a draft plan, a process that began in March, while CTRAN, a climate change advisory firm, has also been involved in preparations.It is expected that the plan will be finalised by the first week of June. There are 11 working groups involved, including those from coasts and disasters and energy and transport.Climate change is a particularly important issue on Orissa, with its eastern part consisting of river deltas and much of the state covered in forest.
