INTRODUCTION:
Rising global temperature and increase in extreme weather conditions have been pushing climate change to the forefront. It has become a policy of debate throughout the world today. The COVID 19 pandemic pressured us with enormous challenges but at the same time it also provided us with an opportunity to build back the economy and society into a much more strong and resilient one. Many countries around the world have taken strong steps to make this recovery not only rich in job and employment generation but also green. Many governments have been taking initiatives and bringing in strong measures to reduce GreenHouse Gas Emission and have made commitments to attain Net Zero Emission by 2050[1].
