Climate change is altering our environment affecting agriculture, water availability, and sea-levels. It is increasing the intensity of natural disasters, the rate of species extinction and the spread of vector-borne diseases.
Those most vulnerable to climate change are the world's poor as they are often directly reliant on natural resources to meet their basic needs. They also have the fewest resources to cope with climate-related shocks.
There are many actions that can be taken now to help counter climate change and its impacts in India. It is critical to reach out to the most vulnerable people to help them adapt. It is also critical to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases by improving energy efficiency and expanding renewable and clean energy technologies. Individually we can also act.
