The SDG Coordination Centre (SDGCC) of the Planning & Coordination Department has launched the third edition of the ‘Nagaland for Green Christmas’ campaign this year.

The Campaign focuses on mobilising all the residents of Nagaland to celebrate a sustainable and environment-friendly Christmas.

The key objective of the campaign is to align the Christmas festival celebration to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) dissemination and spark on-ground action across the state for making this Christmas and beyond, sustainable.

Nagaland has shared the responsibility to make SDGs a reality for the state, country, and the world, as a whole.

‘Nagaland for Green Christmas’ is an endeavour to continue the effort towards a state-wide sustainable and environment-friendly Christmas to reduce carbon emissions.

The campaign suggests residents to avoid plastics, decorate eco-friendly Christmas trees, DIY decorations, switching to LED lights, gifting reusable essentials, sending e-cards, buying ethically, composting leftovers, connecting with natures and others to make a difference.

The campaign further calls upon residents to be mindful of the things they buy, how they use them and how they are disposed as well.

The Government of Nagaland through the SDGCC has been mobilising individuals, communities, departments, institutions, and agencies, and to take action for the achievement of the SDGs, whilst building coalitions across communities and societies at the local level. This is yet another effort towards achieving the SDG Vision 2030.

SDGCC is also encouraging residents of the state to share their eco-friendly celebration story via social media handles tagging @sdgccnagaland with hashtags- #NagalandForSDGs #NagalandForGreenChristmas.
