Explanation:

National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change
• NAFCC was operationalised in 2015-16.
• The fund is meant to assist national and state level activities to meet the cost of adaptation
measures in areas that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
• This scheme has been taken as Central Sector Scheme with the National Bank for Agriculture and
Rural Development (NABARD) as National Implementing Entity (NIE).
• The overall aim of the fund is to support concrete adaptation activities which are not covered under
ongoing schemes of State and National Government that reduce the adverse affects of climate
change facing community sector and states.
