TN government on Friday launched District Decarbonisation Action Plans (DDAPs) for four key districts - the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Ramanathapuram and Virudhunagar-along with a State Climate Action Tracker that will enable real-time monitoring of the state's progress towards its net-zero goals.

The initiative, led by the Tamil Nadu Green Climate Company under the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Forests, was developed in collaboration with Vasudha Foundation, a think tank. Environment Minister Thangam Thennarasu unveiled it in Chennai.

"With the launch of district decarbonisation pathways and the Tamil Nadu climate tracker, we are turning climate ambition into measurable, accountable action," said Thennarasu. "This is economic policy for a new era - one that will generate thousands of green jobs, strengthen industries, and secure our natural heritage. TN will lead India to net-zero carbon not by promise, but by proof."
