A Greener Future Starts Here:
Tamil Nadu’s Climate Leadership in Action
TNGCC leads key missions to protect our forests, wetlands, coasts, and communities from climate change.
Thiru. M.K.Stalin
Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu
Our government views climate change as a major humanitarian crisis. Let me assure that Tamil Nadu will achieve carbon neutrality before the national target. I see this mission as a personal priority, leading our state in this crucial global effort.
CM’s Message
“Our government views climate change as a major humanitarian crisis… Global warming has occurred due to high carbon emissions. Many scientists have said the world should reach carbon neutral by 2050. Last year, the Central Government declared that it would become carbon neutral by 2070. Let me assure that Tamil Nadu will achieve carbon neutrality before that,” Climate change concerned all and the state government viewed this issue seriously. “I am proud to lead from the front. I see this as my life’s mission.
