Explanation

The National Mission on Sustainable Habitat (NMSH) is one of the eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). Statement 1 is correct; the mission was revised (NMSH 2.0) for the 2021–2030 period to align with India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), focusing on low-carbon urban growth, energy-efficient buildings, and sustainable waste management.

  • Statement 2 is incorrect because of a mismatch in targets and timelines. India's original NDC (2015) aimed to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33–35% by 2030 (not 2035) from 2005 levels.
  • In the updated NDC (2022), the target for 2030 was enhanced to 45%.
  • Recently, for the 2031–2035 period, the government has proposed a 47% reduction target by 2035.

The mission is implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
