Abstract

The Himachal Pradesh Strategy and Action Plan on Climate Change reflects climate policy planning fashioned by central government directives, with external funding that is conditional upon some mitigation focus. Challenges of drafting the HP Plan were compounded by a change in government more than halfway through the policy process. Part of a larger project “Global Administrative Law: Improving Inter-institutional Connections in Global and National Regulatory Governance,” this series of reports reviews development of climate change planning processes in India, specific to various regions. Himachal Pradesh is a Himalayan state in the north of India, a mountainous region involved in forestry.
