THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : The Kerala Climate Change Adaptation Mission (KCCAM), an entity formed by the state government to assess the impact of climate change and monitor mitigation activities, is gearing up to formulate policies and legal frameworks to make the state resilient to climate change. The government constituted KCCAM last August with the vision to make Kerala carbon neutral, disaster resilient and a knowledge economy based on green jobs. The state cabinet has created nine posts including the chief resilient officer for the mission. The proposed legislation is expected to bring reformatory changes in the construction, transportation and energy sectors to make Kerala carbon neutral. The existing building rules do not prioritise making the buildings climate resilient.
