Address issues related to climate change holistically:Bhupendra Yadav

Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav said, protecting and restoring ecosystems can help us reduce the extent of climate change and cope with its impacts. Speaking at the Plenary Session at the G7 Ministers' Meeting on Climate, Energy and Environment at Sapporo in Japan on Sunday, he said, it is important to address issues related to climate change in tandem with environmental action, holistically. The Union Minister said India in its Presidency of G-20, for example, has taken this approach and embedded mitigation and adaptation deeply across priority areas of arresting land degradation, accelerating ecosystem restoration, and enriching biodiversity.
