Stalin on Friday announced that his government will soon release data on department-wise carbon emissions.Delivering the inaugural speech of the first meeting of the Tamil Nadu Governing Council on Climate Change, Stalin also said that the state government is aiming to achieve the net zero levels much before the national goal.
"The Tamil Nadu Governing Council on Climate Change or a sub-committee will study the data and set a target so that Tamil Nadu realises the goal of net zero much before 2070, when India aims to realise it," he elaborated.Noting that development and ecological interests are equally important, Stalin urged his ministers to implement development programmes after evaluating their implications on climate change.
