of the sector, aiding in promoting sustainable cooling and buildings, promoting renewable energy which reduces
use of thermal power.

Capacity building in energy efficiency is critical for addressing climate change as it equips many people,
communities, and institutions with the information and skills they need to implement climate-resilient practices
in the field and shifting the energy efficient technologies to cut emissions and adapt to changing conditions. It
improves the sector's ability to effectively contribute to climate mitigation and food security goals. Capacity
building actions highlighted mainly focusses on developing FPO specific training packages, enabling capacity
of farmers towards cold chain and food security, as well as on adopting energy efficient conservation techniques.
It also aims to train and build capacity of cold chain operators to ensure better pre- and post-harvest services,
while integrating energy efficiency in the agriculture sector.

Research in the energy efficiency is crucial for addressing climate change as it drives innovation, leading to
energy efficient cooling systems for buses, buildings, cold chains, and efficient resource management. It
provides evidence-based solutions, inform policy decisions, and empowers technicians and industries to adapt to
climate challenges and mitigate energy efficiency impact on the environment. Research actions suggested in the
UPSAPCC echoes the same, it includes disseminating weather information by developing an application,
undertaking baseline survey to stocktake of the current agricultural practices, feasibility study to explore
solutions for generating sustainable farmers income.

Implementing actions on the other hand are the solutions that can bring immediate effects in the efforts to tackle
climate change and add to building climate resilience for the industries, buildings, agriculture, power generation
through renewable energy, promotion of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. The implementing actions
includes establishing the charging infrastructures, piloting climate smart adaptation technologies, enabling
transition of implement of energy efficiency and renewable power in the state. It also entails promoting
renewable power on degraded lands, irrigation through solar pumps, implementation of energy efficient
technologies for the upgrading of the buildings.

In culmination, it is evident that the effort to establish energy efficiency in the industries of states for various
sectors, Directorate of MSME emerges as a leader. The energy efficiency and green energy sector in UP can be
