Minerals are solid, inorganic, non-renewable, limited natural resources and are important raw material used in the core sectors of the economy. In India, there is a huge deposit of several types of mineral resources. Mineral industry plays a vital role in India. The extraction of minerals form nature leads to global warming and often creates imbalance which adversely affect wildlife, fishery, climate, rainfall and ecology. Climate change presents a complex challenge for India, which is reflected in its evolving set of climate change laws and policies. The government has adopted various initiatives to comply with the Kyoto Protocol. The central national initiative on climate change is the National Action Plan on Climate Change. Action under NAPCC is premised on the principle of sustainable development, which for the purposes of climate change means achieving growth while at the same time minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.
