New Delhi: The Delhi government’s state action plan for 2021-2030 to combat climate change will focus on adaptation and mitigation strategies. Experts have voiced concern over the extreme weather patterns that the region has witnessed in the recent past which, they warn, can lead to a climate crisis in the future.

“The plan for the current decade will be prepared by January 31. It will be then shared with other departments for comments or suggestions and later placed before the Cabinet for approval,” a senior official from the environment department said.

The previous plan, for 2011-2020, was approved only in 2018 and could, therefore, be implemented for a very short period.
