Resilient Maharashtra, Sustainable Tomorrow

The State of Maharashtra, with its large population, socio-economic and cultural diversity, long coastline, different agro-climatic zones, and an objective of realizing a trillion-dollar economy, is acutely vulnerable to climate change. The state faces threats such as rising temperatures, heatwaves, recurrent droughts, heavy precipitation, floods, hailstorms, lightning, sea level rise, and cyclones. It is therefore crucial that the overall development strategy of the state incorporates climate change adaptation and mitigation measures. To combat climate change and ensure sustainable development, the Government of Maharashtra is actively undertaking various initiatives.
