Curriculum planning
i. Planning a chapter in a text book to impart the knowledge of forests, nature conservation and multiple ecosystem services.
ii. Planning an exercise on biodiversity, water, biomass, preserving mangroves, wetlands, critical habitats etc.
iii. Planning nature camping programming to carbon sequestration as a co-benefit.
Class 8- “National Mission for Green India”(GIM) The National Mission for Green India (GIM) is one of the eight Missions outlined under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). It aims at protecting; restoring and enhancing India’s diminishing forest cover and responding to climate change by a combination of adaptation and mitigation measures. It envisages a holistic view of greening and focuses on multiple ecosystem services, especially, biodiversity, water, biomass, preserving mangroves, wetlands, critical habitats etc. along with carbon sequestration as a co-benefit. This mission has adopted an integrated cross-sectoral approach as it will be implemented on both public as well as private lands with a key role of the local communities in planning, decision making, implementation and monitoring.

Class-9 “Sub Missions of Green India”There are five Sub Missions, integrating adaptation/mitigation measures and corresponding to the Mission targets.Mission 1: Enhancing quality of forest cover and improving ecosystem services a. Moderately dense forest cover, but showing degradationb. Eco-restoration of degraded open forestsc. Restoration of GrasslandsMission 2: Ecosystem restoration and increase in forest cover d. Rehabilitation of Shifting Cultivation arease. Restoring Scrublandsf. Restoration of Mangrovesg. Ravine Reclamationh. Restoration of abandoned mining areas
“Sub Missions of Green India”
Mission 3: Enhancing tree cover in Urban and Peri-Urban areas (including institutional lands) the Mission will support urban greening by various interventions, categorising urban forests in the following broad categories:a. Recorded or notified forest patchesb. Open spaces/green spaces like parks/wood lotsc. Diffused planting such as on avenues and in householdsd. Institutional landsMission 4: Agro-Forestry and Social Forestry (increasing biomass and creating carbon sink)Mission 5: Restoration of Wetlands
Class-9 activity
a. National level competitionsb. Drawingc. Quizd. speech and Essay writing
Class-10 “Significance of the Green India Mission”Significance of forests in relation to climate change The Green India Mission recognizes the influences and potential that the forests and other natural ecosystems have on climate adaptation/mitigation, and food, water, environmental and livelihood security of tribal and forest dwellers specifically, and the nation at large, in the context of climate change. The Mission is therefore in a unique position to significantly contribute to sustainability of other missions for the following reasons: a. Ameliorating climateb. Food securityc. Water securityd. Livelihood security of local communities
“Mission Goals and Targets”
The green India mission aims at responding to climate change by a combination of adaptation and mitigation measures, which would help enhancing carbon sinks in sustainably managed forests and other ecosystems, adaptation of vulnerable species/ecosystems, and adaptation of forest-dependant communities.The mission targets to Improvement in quality of forest cover and ecosystem services of forests /non-forests, including moderately dense, open forests, degraded grassland and wetlands. Also mission approaches Eco-restoration/afforestation of scrub, shifting cultivation areas, cold deserts, mangroves.
