The objectives of this industrial policy are: To sensitize the administration to the needs of the industries; To create congenial environment for the development of tiny, micro, small & medium enterprises; To evolve an appropriate mechanism so as to promote industrial growth in the right perspective paving way for sustainable economic growth; o maximize production and achieve higher productivity
Early studies on the potential impacts of climate change indicated that agriculture was not likely to be severely affected, as carbon fertilization and trade flows were thought to be able to compensate for any productivity declines related to climate change. Recent work, however, has raised doubts about whether carbon fertilization laboratory test results can be replicated in the field.
Halogenated gases currently contribute 12% to overall radiative forcing. While actions under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol) are already addressing CFCs and HCFCs, atmospheric concentrations of some HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) are rising rapidly, by more than 23% each year.
This data sheet assesses the countries' resilience and adaptive capacity to climate change impacts, and highlights the objectives carried by the Millennium Development Goals, such as improving infrastructure to enhance food and water security, and investments in education, health, and gender equity, that can be cost-effective components of national and international responses to climate change and
The paper reviews contentious issues related to water governance in the Narmada river basin like the riparian rights of States over apportionment of the use of the waters for large dam-centered canal irrigation and hydro-electric power development and the later disputes around the appropriateness of this model of development given the tremendous environmental and social costs associated with it.
Climate Justice for a Changing Planet: A Primer for Policy Makers and NGOs

Adaptation and mitigation are complementary and should not be perceived as mutually exclusive approaches: In the HKH region, adaptation and land-based mitigation are intimately linked and
are not mutually exclusive; mitigation activities can become an important complement to adaptation initiatives and, as such, should be supported by regional policy and enabling frameworks.
This book builds on related experience of the IUCN Environmental Law Centre in the areas of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES), Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, Access and Benefit-Sharing
