State Action Plans for Climate Change under preparation in five states- Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh & Kerala and the UT of Lakshadweep

It is possible to incorporate NAMAs related activities in SAPCCs

SAPCC capacity building could include NAMAs implementation related capacity building.

Enhancing state government participation in design and implementation of NAMAs is possible through the SAPCC project.

Enabling Activities for Preparation of India's Second National Communication to UNFCCC

It could provide inputs for priority sectors and support designing of NAMAs
