Introduction
The successful implementation of Uttar Pradesh State Action Plan on Climate Change (UPSAPCC 2.0), rely on
a well-structured framework, meticulously crafted to facilitate methodical planning, implementation,
monitoring, and evaluation of climate action initiatives across diverse departments and agencies. This document
offers an in-depth look into the implementation framework tailored specifically for UPNEDA, as it operates
within the broader UPSAPCC 2.0 framework. The document entails details of the framework's architecture,
essential elements, and the methodologies applied in its development.
Mission Overview
The Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Green Energy Mission are integral components of UPSAPCC 2.0,
Directorate of MSME are aiming for efficient use of energy in MSME. Power Department and DISCOMs, as
the agencies responsible for this mission, has outlined several key action points to achieve this objective.
Directorate of MSME will work in close coordination with key government departments such as the Rural
Development Department (RDD), Both the departments will focus on initiatives related to development of
climate adaptation approach to rural skills development and diversification of livelihood opportunities.
UPSAPCC 2.0 goes even further by incorporating newly projected climate trends, conducting comprehensive
assessments of sectoral vulnerabilities across districts, and proactively anticipating future climate risks. These
strategies have undergone rigorous refinement through extensive consultations with experts and various
government departments. The overarching goal is to ensure the sustainable management of Uttar Pradesh's
natural resources in the face of a changing climate, thereby facilitating the state's economic and social
development in a harmonious and environmentally responsible manner.
This dynamic climate action plan is organized around eight missions: Sustainable Agriculture, Jal Mission,
Green UP Mission, Sustainable Habitat Mission, Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Green Energy Mission,
Human Health Mission, Disaster Management Mission, and Strategic Knowledge Mission. Within this
framework, 41 strategies and 187 actions have been meticulously articulated, encompassing a wide range of
activities, including research, implementation, policy formulation, and capacity building (Figure 6)

41 Strategies
187 Actions
Each action point within this comprehensive framework is thoughtfully assigned to an implementation and
nodal agency, with an unwavering commitment to data reporting to the Directorate of Environment (DoE),
Executive Body for Uttar Pradesh Climate Change Authority (UPCCA). This commitment to data reporting
forms the foundation of the framework, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the implementation
process.
This meticulously crafted framework facilitates evidence-based decision-making and ensures a robust approach
to monitoring and evaluation. Data points are interconnected with existing government data, eliminating
duplication. A dashboard compiles high-level indicators for year-by-year impact assessments, aligning climate
action efforts with national commitments.

The comprehensive implementation plan charted for Directorate of MSME stands as a testament to the state's
commitment to a sustainable and environmentally conscious future. With its multi-faceted approach spanning
diverse sectors, the plan addresses critical challenges faced in energy efficiency and renewable in various sector
due to lack of knowledge and financing.
The plan is devised as per the nature of the actions proposed, which is policy, capacity building, research, and
implementation. The policy actions entail developing policies in the field of energy efficiency in cooling sectors,
extending subsidies for the farmers for promoting solar pumps, developing action plan for state cooling in line
with India Cooling Action Plan. Policy formulations play a pivotal role in making enhancing climate resilience
of the sector, aiding in promoting sustainable cooling and buildings, promoting renewable energy which reduces
use of thermal power.
Capacity building in energy efficiency is critical for addressing climate change as it equips many people,
communities, and institutions with the information and skills they need to implement climate-resilient practices
in the field and shifting the energy efficient technologies to cut emissions and adapt to changing conditions. It
improves the sector's ability to effectively contribute to climate mitigation and food security goals. Capacity
building actions highlighted mainly focusses on developing FPO specific training packages, enabling capacity
of farmers towards cold chain and food security, as well as on adopting energy efficient conservation
techniques. It also aims to train and build capacity of cold chain operators to ensure better pre- and post-harvest
services, while integrating energy efficiency in the agriculture sector.
Research in the energy efficiency is crucial for addressing climate change as it drives innovation, leading to
energy efficient cooling systems for buses, buildings, cold chains, and efficient resource management. It
provides evidence-based solutions, inform policy decisions, and empowers technicians and industries to adapt to
climate challenges and mitigate energy efficiency impact on the environment. Research actions suggested in the
UPSAPCC echoes the same, it includes disseminating weather information by developing an application,
undertaking baseline survey to stocktake of the current agricultural practices, feasibility study to explore
solutions for generating sustainable farmers income.
Implementing actions on the other hand are the solutions that can bring immediate effects in the efforts to tackle
climate change and add to building climate resilience for the industries, buildings, agriculture, power generation
through renewable energy, promotion of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. The implementing actions
includes establishing the charging infrastructures, piloting climate smart adaptation technologies, enabling
transition of implement of energy efficiency and renewable power in the state. It also entails promoting
renewable power on degraded lands, irrigation through solar pumps, implementation of energy efficient
technologies for the upgrading of the buildings.
In culmination, it is evident that the effort to establish energy efficiency in the industries of states for various
sectors, Department of Science & Technology emerges as a leader. The energy efficiency and green energy
sector in UP can be well prepared to face the challenges emerging from climate variability and extreme events,
by adopting diligent policy formation, capacity building, evidence-based research, and thorough plan
implementation. The department must embrace innovation, technology, and sustainable practices to protect
livelihoods, achieve ecological sustainability goals, and ensure security.
