The state government's ambitious Tamil Nadu Coastal Restoration Mission is set to get rolling in two months, as a formal contract will be signed with the World Bank in January.
Sources told TNIE that Chief Minister MK Stalin is likely to chair the Tamil Nadu Governing Council on climate change on December 5 during which the mission details will be discussed. Officials have confirmed that 30% readiness, a prerequisite for signing the contract, has been achieved, and a detailed project report is being prepared.
The coastal restoration mission is crucial as Tamil Nadu is seeing the worst of climate change with increased frequency of extreme weather events. The coastal sea erosion is also adding to the problem.
