“…NAPCC has been criticised for being centrally driven, reinforcing sectoral silos (Byravan & Rajan 2012). However, until recently, relatively little was known about the role of the subnational states and Union Territories in framing climate policies.…”

“…It shies away from committing quantitatively to reduction of emissions or energy efficiency notwithstanding some existent targets in other government documents (Agarwala, 2008;Byravan & Rajan, 2012;Sanwal, 2008). The only quantitative target is to continue its status quo of not exceeding per capita emissions of developed countries.…”

“…NAPCC is often critiqued as a 'business as usual document' which does not significantly change the status quo similar to the NMSA which also forms the backbone of India's approach to climate sensitize agricultural practices and have limited suggestions for strategic changes (Byravan & Rajan, 2012;Ramanjaneyulu & Kuruganti, 2009). The Mission fails to translate the urgency of the climate change problem and it's inter linkages with agricultural practices and further into policy.…”

“…Suggestions of Ramanjaneyulu and Kuruganti (2009) argue that the approach continues to be of a top-down 'lab to land' nature which primarily required over dependence of farmers on agricultural extension services from the government. The nature of agricultural extension services are very poor, infrastructural bottlenecks traps farmers at a sub-optimal equilibrium, inefficient incentives and lack of appropriate safety nets stifles scalable innovation (Byravan & Rajan, 2012). Thus, to fulfil the objectives outlined by the NMSKCC, it is imperative for the Mission to identify the different initiatives that are currently being undertaken by various stakeholders in the country and identify the potential players from the current pool of experienced institutions.…”

“…However, it fails to appreciate the context in which these schemes are to be designed and implemented. One repetative critique of the NMSA is that it has not been a consultative process between the policy makers and the farmers (Byravan & Rajan, 2012;Ramanjaneyulu & Kuruganti, 2009). Across the nation there is an existant chain of government sponsored argicultural universities and extension systems.…”

Government of India has recently announced for special funds like National adaptation fund to handle market risks arising due to climatic variability. The operational protocol of this fund and other forthcoming initiatives have yet to be expanded, but through this paper we like to draw attention to some of the policies and programmes that the Governments of India have already initiated and that directly or indirectly link to managing the risks and challenges faced with climate change in context of agriculture sector. These policies have their own merits and demerits, but it is the need of the hour to draw synergies between the existing polices and new proposed actions to draw on the strengths of the ongoing programs and build up on that. This paper is also relevant in the context of UN Climate summit 2014 held on 23 rd September and Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) aim at a global alliance for climate smart agriculture along with India's prime ministers speech on 15 th august, 2015 and the budget speech emphasising on threat that agriculture is facing because of climate change and government willingness to give emphasis on this agenda in context of agricultural sector. With the critical analysis, we also want to highlight the richness in the policy framework of several policies which are interlinked with each other, but due to lack of coordination they implementation might not be very appropriate.

Financial policy and sustainability can play a critical role in reducing the harmful effects of climate change and hastening the shift to a low‐carbon, more sustainable economy. Monetary policy can be used to encourage the creation of new technologies that can lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as research and development (R&D) tax credits, government grants, and other types of financial assistance. These include targeted lending, green bonds, loan guarantees, weather‐indexed insurance, tax credits, feed‐in tariffs (FiT), national development banks (NDBs), national climate funds, and disclosure regulations. This evidence review examines the effects of financial policy on climate change and energy transitions. Careful design and implementation are crucial for the success of loan guarantee programs. Nations have used a variety of policy tools to support climate change and sustainable energy initiatives. The success of these programs must be understood to determine the best approaches for designing and implementing loan guarantee policies. The studies reviewed classified climate finance policies into seven categories based on their functions: regulation and guidelines, market‐based incentives, financial measures, information and capacity, de‐risking, domestic and international public finance, and other. National development banks have a clear public policy mission to support low‐carbon development in a particular nation.
