Which one among the following is not a goal of National Action Plan for Climate Change?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) comprises eight missions, including the National Solar Mission, which promotes solar energy development [1], and the National Water Mission, which aims to improve water-use efficiency by 20% through regulatory mechanisms and pricing [3]. The Green India Mission focuses on afforestation, targeting the increase of forest and tree cover on 10 million hectares of land [2]. While the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) aims to strengthen the market for energy efficiency through initiatives like Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT), it primarily focuses on demand-side management and market-based mechanisms rather than 'supply-side management' to reduce consumption [3]. Supply-side management typically refers to utility-level efficiency in generation and distribution, whereas NAPCC missions emphasize end-user efficiency, technology adoption, and sustainable resource management across sectors like agriculture and habitat [3].
