• India Climate Dialogue

  India has had a National Action Plan on Climate Change since 2008, with eight specific missions under it. But there has been relatively little action since then. These issues have been the subject of debate among policymakers, academics, think tanks and in the media for over 20 years. But much of the debate is affected by one form of bias or the other. So there is an urgent need to have a dedicated outlet for impartial and objective news and views on all aspects of climate change, how it affects India, and what can be done about it. India Climate Dialogue has been launched by The Third Pole to fulfill this need.
