The Climate Change Community’s mission is to connect people with common interest, pool together similar experiences, offer knowledge on demand, provide wide range of solutions; facilitate collaboration for developing, testing innovative ideas and increasing development effectiveness. The Community leverages practitioner’s knowledge and the enormous development experience of the UN to expedite the achievement of India’s development goals and MDGs.

It is also critical to identify high priority areas related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, disseminating information for knowledge sharing to achieve the developmental objectives of India’s Five Year Plans (12th Five-Year Plan) and the various National Missions set up under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC).

The Community endeavours to draw attention towards the changes taking place due to the build up of greenhouse gases and efforts to mitigate and adapt to these changes .The Climate Community is also keen to promote south-south cooperation through members from other countries and collaborations with other knowledge networks.
