 India’s Initial National Communication to the UN
Client: Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India
In pursuance of the implementation of the provisions of the Convention, a project towards preparation of India’s Initial National Communication (NATCOM) to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) has been initiated. The project is funded by the Global Environment facility under its enabling activities programme through the United Nations Development Programme, New Delhi.
The report includes information on India's climate, population profile, geography, basic natural resources and socio-economic scenario. It also includes a description of climate change related research and systematic observations in the country; vulnerability assessment and adaptation; a report on education, research and training initiatives to develop capacity; national development policies and priorities; programmes related to sustainable development and identification of constraints, gaps and related financial, technical and capacity needs to respond to the continuing need of improved National Communications in the future.
We were instrumental in providing imagery for the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) Annual Report on Climate Change in India to the United Nations (UN). We worked closely with Natcom a division of Winrock International India - Facilitating Agency for the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. We dedicated a photo unit to do extensive research and editing in order to produce standalone images that complemented the messages and the findings of the report.
The Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) Annual Report on Climate Change in India was very well received at the United Nations (UN).
