Haryana’s initiative on climate change

First Initiative: Panchamrut Scheme
At COP-27, Dr. Vivek Saxena presented the initiatives being taken by Haryana on the five elixirs (Panchamrit) of action plan and commitments related to climate change. The special event showcased initiatives of the Government of Haryana that support the climate goals and India’s commitment to climate neutrality by 2070.

Second Initiative: agroforestry
Haryana set an example in promoting Agroforestry and Tree Outdoor Forest (TOF). Despite being a forest deficient state with only 3.5 per cent under forest area, Haryana is contributing about 50 per cent of the country’s plywood production with agro-based timber sourced from non-forest areas.

Third Initiative: Tree Outdoor Forest
Haryana is also part of the USAID supported TOFI (Tree Outside Forestry in India) programme. Which is to be implemented in seven states of India. The TOFI program will contribute to sequestration of 420 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and cover 2.8 million hectares of new land under TOF.
