Rational, analytical, meticulous and extravagant

[Supriya Sahu IAS @supriyasahuias]

India’s net-zero transition will be shaped by State governments and, even more importantly, by districts.
I write this piece in @the_hindu with @sreenk. State-level GHG inventories and climate risk maps allow precise, locally tailored decarbonisation pathways. Integrating nature-based solutions will strengthen both carbon sequestration and community resilience. Institutional frameworks like climate missions and real-time trackers are needed to ensure accountability. Community participation is crucial for action on the ground.This is the emerging model of India’s climate leadership, data-led, locally grounded, and ecosystem-driven #NetZeroTransition #ClimateAction #climatechange

On July 11, 2025, GEDA, in collaboration with @Vasudha_Fnd , hosted a Stakeholder Consultation on “Decarbonisation Planning for Gujarat: Priorities & Way Forward.” Chaired by Shri Ajay Prakash, IAS (Director, GEDA) and co-chaired by Shri D.M. Thaker (Member Secretary, GPCB), the discussion saw active participation from district authorities, line departments and CSOs. The session emphasized strengthening local decarbonisation efforts using tools such as #GCAT, India’s first district-level open climate data portal.
