Abstract
The livestock sector plays a crucial role in global food security and rural livelihoods. However, it is increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This comparative analysis delves into the strategies outlined in State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCC) within the livestock sector at three distinct levels: Global, National (India), and Regional (Kerala). Through an in-depth examination, this study seeks to identify commonalities, disparities, and the effectiveness of climate action measures in addressing the challenges faced by the livestock sector in the context of climate change. This article presents a comprehensive action plan on climate change in the livestock sector, examining global initiatives, national strategies in India, and state-specific measures in Kerala. The focus is on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing resilience, and ensuring sustainable development in the face of climate challenge.
