Background
Jharkhand is a resource-rich state in India with large mineral reserves, robust industrial sectors, and captivating ecological landscapes. Given the climate vulnerability, dependency on fossil fuel ecosystems, and looming concern of resource depletion the state is poised to face multiplier effects on its economy and people at large. The Net-zero goal set by India cannot be achieved without the active lead taken by Jharkhand.
The Government of Jharkhand has constituted a ‘Sustainable Just Transition Task Force’ vide notification no. 3247 dated November 9, 2022, to work towards a just, sustainable and inclusive transition. Jharkhand has been the first state in the country to set a policy direction through the task force to work towards a net-zero scenario and sustainable development goals. The task force has been mandated to frame and develop a roadmap for implementing a just sustainable and inclusive transition toward a green and sustainable model of development for the state of Jharkhand.
Objectives of the Workshop
To engage and reach out to the national and international collaborators and stakeholders to support the JET process in Jharkhand
