CG launches dashboard to monitor action plan on climate change
Two-Day 'Chhattisgarh Climate Change Conclave 2024' in Chhattisgarh assess 100 year data
Raipur : Emphasizing on the need to formulate strategies to address the global challenge of climate change, Chhattisgarh has taken a new initiative of collaborating with tribal communities along with experts and environmentalists to tackle the challenge.
Chhattisgarh has also launched a climate change dashboard platform to provide a centralized system for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing climate-related data.
During the two-day ‘Chhattisgarh Climate Change Conclave 2024’, the state government focused on expertise and exchange of knowledge from primitive tribes of the remote regions of Chhattisgarh. As 44 per cent geographical area of Chhattisgarh is covered under rich and dense forest and these primitive tribes are very close to nature, utilising their traditional knowledge along with that of experts and public representatives will assist in moving in the right direction in terms of environment conservation.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said that the conclave would serve as a significant platform for sharing crucial information and experiences regarding the global challenges and adverse impacts of climate change. He underlined the importance of collective efforts to combat climate change for the well-being of future generations.
British Deputy High Commissioner Dr Andrew Fleming, who attended the conclave, highlighted various aspects of climate change and appreciated the state governments efforts of addressing climate change through comprehensive action plans and leveraging the knowledge from these tribal inhabitants.
The suggestions of primitive tribes regarding conservation of medicinal plants in the forests will be implemented in the state. He said that the suggestions given by them on climate change will also be shared outside the country.
Climate change and global warming are posing as major threat for the entire world as it has led to severe repercussions in form of irregular rainfall, prolonged droughts, cyclonic rains, and seasonal variations, affecting both the nation and the world.
