These plantations will include riverfront development programmes, afforestation, and agroforestry schemes, according to a report on the overview of detailed project reports for rejuvenation of major rivers through forestry interventions prepared by the environment ministry.

New Delhi: India intends to grow plantations over 4,68,222 sq km, an area larger than the entire state of Rajasthan, by 2027 in 13 major river basins to meet its international commitment to sequester carbon emissions, according to an overview report released last week.

These plantations will include riverfront development programmes, afforestation, and agroforestry schemes, according to a report on the overview of detailed project reports for rejuvenation of major rivers through forestry interventions prepared by the environment ministry.

The proposed plantings are expected to sequester 50.21 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 10 years and 74.76 million tonnes by 20 years. The report also estimates that the project reports of the 13 river basins will likely increase the country’s cumulative forest cover by 80.85 sq km to 1,813.52 sq km.

“One of the goals these large-scale plantations can help achieve is our climate commitment under the Paris Agreement,” said Prem Kumar Jha, inspector general of forests at the environment ministry. “There are of course other co-benefits like improving biodiversity, forest cover and flow in the rivers.”
