Jharkhand plans five carbon credit projects to monetize climate initiatives
What happened
The state forest, environment and climate change department in Jharkhand held a workshop in Ranchi to discuss the implementation of five potential carbon credit projects across five government departments. These projects aim to help departments and rural communities monetize ongoing carbon-reduction initiatives in the state. The five identified schemes include the forest department’s Mukhyamantri Jan Van Yojana, the rural development department’s Birsa Harit Gram Yojana, and JREDA’s solar mini and micro grid systems.
