UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — A, November 2020. The India Climate Change Knowledge Portal was launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (then Union Minister Prakash Javadekar) in November 2020 (27 November 2020). It is a single-point online platform that brings together India's major climate-change actions — mitigation, adaptation, international cooperation and finance — across sectors.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Wrong — the portal went live in November 2020, not December.  (c) Wrong — September 2020 is a decoy; the launch was in November 2020.  (d) Wrong — the launch was the following month, November 2020, not October.

Concept: The India Climate Change Knowledge Portal is a MoEFCC initiative meant to be a single window on India's climate policy and action. It compiles the government's sector-wise steps and India's international climate commitments so that citizens, researchers and negotiators can find them in one place. It was launched in November 2020.
