THE INITIATIVE
A collaborative effort toward transparent, data-driven climate reporting.
The Assam Greenhouse Gas Inventory is the state's comprehensive platform for tracking emissions across all major sectors. Developed under ASAPCC 2.0, it brings together data from multiple departments into a unified, transparent view of Assam's carbon footprint.
Data-Driven
Evidence-based climate policy grounded in robust emissions data.
Transparent
Open, accessible reporting aligned with international standards.
Collaborative
Multiple departments contributing data under a unified framework.
Action-Oriented
Multiple departments contributing data under a unified framework.
Forest conservation & climate action
Why a State-Level Inventory Matters
India's national climate commitments — including the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) — require states to track and report their emissions. Assam, with its rich forests, tea estates, agriculture, and growing industry, plays a critical role in this national effort.
A state-level inventory enables targeted mitigation strategies, identifies high-emission sectors, and ensures that climate finance is directed where it has the greatest impact.
SUMMARY
