Abstract:

The Indian economy is mostly agrarian-based and depends on the onset of the monsoon and its further behavior. The livelihood of people is mostly dependent on climate-sensitive natural resources like land, water and forests. The climate change impact on these natural resources affects agriculture, forests, water resources and human health. India is a vast country occupying 2.4% world's geographical area, sharing 16.2% of the global human population and 15% of the global livestock population. It is endowed with varied climates supporting rich biodiversity and highly diverse ecology. More than 60% of its population living in rural areas, where agriculture is the major concern rural economy that is the backbone of the Indian economy. The consistent impact of climate change may threaten livelihood activities, which are mostly based on agriculture providing food security. Climate change and global warming pose a significant threats to agriculture. Pest populations are strongly dependent upon temperature and humidity. It has been predicted that 10-40% losses in crop production in India with an increase in temperature 3 to 5ºC by the end of 21 century. The allied sectors of agriculture have also been affected adversely by climate change e.g., lowering production in dairy cattle, poultry and fishery. Changes in climate variables may alter the distribution of important vector species, especially malarial mosquitoes, and subsequently increase the spread of such diseases to new areas. The loss in net revenue at the farm level is estimated to range between 9% to 25% for a temperature rise of 2ºC to 3.5ºC. To minimize the adverse impact of climate change, adaptation comprises shifting the population living close to the sea side to escape the rising sea level or promote crops that can tolerate higher temperatures. To remedial measures taken to combat the adverse impact of climate change, mitigation comprises a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases. The government of India's expenditure on adaptation and mitigation to combating climate change impact shares 2.6% of the GDP, with agriculture, water resources, health and sanitation, forests, coastal-zone infrastructure and extreme weather events being specific areas of concern. This paper was attempted to review the climate change scenario with their present and future adaptation and mitigation efforts in India.

Abstract:

Since the 1970s, and especially following the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, climate change has become an area of high politics, engaging the whole world at the international and diplomatic level. What matters, though, is how this translates into tangible policies at national and local levels, and how these different scales interact. Highlighting India’s unique position in international climate negotiations, this article first scrutinises various official statements and documents of the Government of India (GOI) on climate change and puts them into an analytical framework that demonstrates continuities, but also significant recent shifts. Investigating the reasons for such modifying trends and examining their consequences, the article then suggests that partly owing to recent changes in global and (geo)political contexts, but also due to an Indian re-thinking of responsibility for addressing global climate change, there is a significant new development. This seems to augur a South Asian ‘silent revolution’ in green technologies, a prudent, economically and ecologically beneficial step, not only for India but possibly a sustainable global model.

Abstract:

Introduction: In 2015, India’s response to climate change was broadened by introducing four new missions including “Health”. National Action Plan for Climate Change and Human Health (NAPCCHH) was prepared in 2018 with objective to strengthen health care services against adverse impact of climate change on health. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) approved National Programme on Climate Change and Human Health (NPCCHH) under National Health Mission (NHM) in February 2019. The common Climate Sensitive Diseases (CSDs) are - air pollution related, heat related, water-borne, vector-borne, cardiopulmonary diseases, mental health, food-borne, nutrition related illnesses etc. Currently the three key areas of focus for NPCCHH include air pollution, heat related illnesses and creation of green and climate resilient healthcare facilities. Air Pollution and Human Health: Acute Respiratory Illnesses (ARI) surveillance in context of air pollution was started in year 2017 in Delhi. Key Strategy in coming years are to expand ARI surveillance in all polluted cities of States, developing State/District/Cities level health sector adaptation plan for air pollution and health. Heat and Human Health: Since 2015, heat related illnesses (HRI) surveillance was started from heat vulnerable States of India. Key Strategies in coming year are strengthening the surveillance, standardizing the investigation of deaths due to suspected heat stroke cases, developing State/ District/ City specific heat and health action plan, increasing public awareness and community outreach, developing measures for early warning system/ alerts and response at State, district and below district level. National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) under MoHFW is incorporating both the green and climate resilient healthcare principles in revising Indian Public Health Service Guidelines.

Abstract:

Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. Climate change is adversely affecting the human health. Maximum impact of global warming and climate change will be seen on underdeveloped and developing countries like India. In Indian context the implications of climate change are broadly classified into rising sea levels, increasing CO2 levels, rising temperatures and extreme weather conditions. Climate change affects the human health in various ways. In developing countries like India, the health sector and the infrastructural facilities are very weak. The impact of the human activity on climate system is the most serious environmental challenge nowadays. The impacts of climate change on human health will be difficult to reverse in a few years or decades. Yet, these possible impacts can be avoided or controlled. This paper analyses the challenges of climate change on health.

Abstract:

Climate change and global warming are going to be the major issues for the 21st century. Their impacts on agriculture, water availability and other natural resources are of serious concern. The paper briefly summarizes the existing information on global warming, past climatic anomalies and occurrence of extreme events vis-a-vis their impact on south Asia in general and Indian in particular. Use of GCM models in conjunction with crop simulation models for impact assessment in agriculture are briefly touched upon. The impact on hydrosphere in terms of water availability and on the forests in India are also discussed. A major shift in our policy makers paradigm is needed to make development sustainable in the face of climate change, global warming and sea level rise.

AbstractThis article covers the recent trends in climate change litigation in India, capturing the peculiarities of the Indian judicial system that lend it the will, ability, and credibility to accommodate emerging principles of climate change laws within the law of the land. While tracing the historical underpinnings of judicial activism, environmental considerations, and strength of democratic institutions, this Article discusses some of the current developments in climate change case law in the country. Finally, in showcasing an increasing and immersive trend towards the inculcation of international principles of environmental law, this article establishes the dichotomy between an active judicial system applying international environmental principles at the domestic level and the roadblocks in terms of climate litigation in the recent times.

Abstract:

India is a significant player in climate policy and politics. It has been vocal in international climate negotiations, but its role in these negotiations has changed over time. In an interactive relationship between domestic policy and international positions, India has increasingly become a testing ground for policies that internalize climate considerations into development. This article critically reviews the arc of climate policy and politics in India over time. It begins by examining changes in knowledge and ideas around climate change in India, particularly in the areas of ethics, climate impacts, India's energy transition, linkages with sustainability, and sequestration. The next section examines changes in politics, policy, and governance at both international and national scales. The article argues that shifts in ideas and knowledge of impacts, costs, and benefits of climate action and shifts in the global context are reflected and refracted through discourses in India's domestic and international policies.

Abstract:

India occupies an intriguing position in the context of climate change and economic development. Blessed with enormous resources (Forests, solar energy, etc.), but short of the capital and technical know-how, India’s journey to a net-zero carbon economy is a marathon. Immediate climate change policies like COP26 often meet reluctance and stress the economy. Climate change has inevitably started altering the climatic dimensions and is now causing substantial damage to the Indian economy. Yet, not aspiring an emission-less economy will hamper the development of the future. The energy demands often clash with climate-change policies. Agriculture too is affected by climate change, making half of the Indian population vulnerable. This paper presents an empirical study on the above-mentioned issues. The material and methods involve theoretical data extracted from the “Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region report 2020” issued by the Indian government and several other esteemed research papers. The objective of this paper is to highlight the climatic variations and how they leave an impact on the economy. At the same time, it presents suggestions to channel the climatic adversities and boost the economy. Adopting green goals and gradually shifting to a clean and green economy will hold the key with respect to India.

Abstract:

Following the bankruptcy of Pacific Gas and Electric in California, a number of academic commentators, central banks and regulators are coming to the realization that climate change poses a massive threat to the existing financial markets. While numerous legislative proposals to combat the emerging threat are being discussed across the world, there has been a massive rise in securities litigation involving climate change issues, particularly in the US. As early as in 2007, some US states had begun investigating companies for deliberately misleading their shareholders through non-disclosure of climate change risks. A number of similar suits have followed, increasingly binging into question the meaning and extent of ‘material information’ in the context of capital markets. In India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has identified climate change as a potential risk to the stability of the financial system, but there has been little legislative action in this regard. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has a provision similar to that in the US requiring all listed companies to disclose ‘material’ facts regarding their assets and value on the market, while Indian courts have long recognized that corporations as well as intermediaries on the securities market are bound by a fiduciary duty to disclose all material information to investors. Drawing a comparison with the rising trend of climate change related securities litigation in the US, this article explores whether a company failing to disclose risks associated with climate change would be in violation of the current Indian regulatory framework, and what kind of legislative changes, if any, are required to safeguard the interests of Indian investors.

Abstract:

Subnational action on climate change in India is driven by the State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCC). The idea behind the SAPCCs was to decentralize action beyond the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) especially with regards to the State and Union List. In India, like most other nations, diplomacy and international negotiations remain exclusively in the realm of the central government. But effective response to climate change would require Indian states to engage in bilateral negotiations at least with countries of the same physiography. This should help in exchange and development of technology and creating databases on risk assessment as climate change goes beyond spatial borders and is a shared security issue. The rationale behind the SAPCCs also opens up furthering of the scope of sub-national diplomacy. This article examines the SAPCCs of the Border States and their missions on strategic knowledge of climate change as an example in order to suggest the need for greater subnational action in the form of climate change diplomacy. Relying mostly on document analysis this paper explores whether engagement in subnational diplomacy would maintain the constitutional spirit while pushing the limits of subnational action for climate change in India. It aims to explore climate policy in India’s federal system to understand the extended role the subnational Indian states therein can play.

Abstract:

Media reporting of climate change has long influenced public perception of the issue. The present study attempts to understand the media presentation of climate change in India by investigating the framing of climate change discourses in 30 editorials of prominent Indian English newspapers, The Times of India, The Indian Express, and The Hindu, with the help of corpus-assisted frame analysis using Sketch Engine software. The study utilised corpus techniques, like keyword and concordance analysis, along with open coding, to extract common “frames” that figure prominently in the selected newspapers. The results revealed that four major frames were employed by the newspapers: climate change as a worrisome reality that requires immediate attention; climate compensation and mitigation funds as contentious issues that require deliberation between developed and developing nations; India as an active participant in mitigation efforts; and climate crisis as a geopolitical issue that requires cooperation across the board. The analysis resulted in the conclusion that these newspapers displayed little climate scepticism, was sensitive to the economics of mitigative action, and were interested in India’s role in the conversations regarding climate change on the global stage.

Abstract Stories of climate change impact underreports the voices of ordinary people emerging with firsthand experience of living closest to the land, even though there are myriad justifications for this approach. We aimed to record personal accounts of perceptions and implications of climate change in rural villages in Himachal Pradesh, India. We applied a modified ethnographic strategy informed by techniques for eliciting life histories from residents with regard to perceived climate changes. While residents reported shorter winters and decreased precipitation and attributed these changes to human activity, the stories revealed nuanced impacts and vulnerabilities, including real rifts in the social fabric and of secondary hardships that have lasting consequences beyond expected predictions. These stories have been preserved and shared via an Instagram platform as a means for amplifying underrepresented voices.

Abstract:

The rising accessibility of mobile phones and the proliferation of social media have revolutionized the way climate change has been communicated. Yet, the inherent invisibility and temporal complexities of climate change pose challenges when trying to communicate it on visual media platforms. This study employs visual content analysis to investigate how environmental non-government organizations (NGOs) in India address these limitations on their Instagram pages. Four environmental NGOs based in India were selected, and their thirty most recent Instagram posts related to climate change were analyzed based on imagery type, subject, context and themes. The findings revealed that these NGOs employed a diverse range of climate change imageries, often accompanied by overlaying texts, to traverse the lack of standardized visual tropes. Moreover, it is noted that a significant majority of analyzed Instagram imageries following the visual principles advocated by Climate Outreach emerged from one single NGO account, suggesting potential variations in the visual communication strategies among different NGOs.

Abstract:

“In spite of a lack of environmental care in the Indian Constitution, India has established a number of important environmental legislation since its independence, despite the lack of environmental concern in the Indian Constitution. However, environmental legislation in India is being developed piecemeal and in response to specific events that have occurred. In the development of Indian environmental legislation, these may be found. The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm paved the way for future environmental and climate change legislation. On that basis, the Indian parliament adopted many laws and placed environmental measures in the Constitution, such as Articles 48 A and 51 A. (g). Climate change is now having a subtle but profound effect on Indian society. There has been recent progress toward passing a climate change bill under the country's current legislation, while at the UN Lima summit, member nations agreed on cutting Earth-warming greenhouse gas emissions. This year, on the 147th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth on October 2, 2016, India approved the National Determined Contribution (NDC). Basic climate change law features are explained in this article, with an emphasis on those topics that are likely to be essential for some time to come and on main drivers of climate change law development. Environmental, energy, corporate, and international law all play a role in the development of the evolving climate change legislation. Any attempt to combat climate change raises questions regarding the correct role and relationship of state and federal governments. What follows will serve as a basic overview of an increasingly complicated and dynamic field.”

Abstract:

Recent times have witnessed increasing impact of industrialization and urban growth on environment. In addition, the potential climate changes and possible adverse impacts on the economy and society at large are causing concern. In India, one of the major concerns is the variability of monsoon rainfall and effects on agriculture and water management. The various parameters associated with environment and climate change need to be monitored and analyzed. The effects of global warming on the Indian subcontinent vary from the submergence of low-lying islands, frequent flooding, coastal degradation and melting of glaciers in the Indian Himalayas. Indian satellites INSAT and IRS launched in early 1980s heralded the era of Space observations. The IRS satellites are providing observations of parameters such as land use/cover, forest, water bodies, crops etc. while INSAT provides quantitative products such as Cloud Motion Vectors (CMVs), Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPEs), Outgoing Long-wave Radiation (OLR), Vertical Temperature Profiles (VTPRs), Sea Surface Temperature. The satellite data is operationally used for generating long term database on vegetation, soil condition, rainfall, groundwater etc.. Some of the unique studies are Biosphere Reserve Monitoring, Mapping of

Abstract:

India and China—two of the largest emitters today—share common concerns arising from climate change. Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and several other studies have concluded that the two countries face imminent threat in the form of ecological degradation, food and water scarcity, agricultural shifts, health hazards, etc. due to climate change. In addition, India and China have shared national circumstances as developing countries. Both nations face serious third world challenges such as socio-economic development, poverty eradication, and health and food security concerns in their respective home fronts. Home to approximately one third of the global population, the developmental needs and aspirations of these countries are enormous and certainly bound to be further complicated by the effects of climate change. India and China have emerged as key players in the international climate change negotiations voicing the concerns of the developing world and ensuring that issues of equity and justice are incorporated in any climate change related international agreement. Given the commonalities of the problems faced by these countries, India and China have embarked on halting yet deliberate climate diplomacy over the years. The core concern of this article is to explore the nature and extent to which India and China have developed cooperative engagement on climate change both at the bilateral as well as the multilateral levels. The article would also seek to analyse the challenges that stand in the way to this cooperative endeavour. Prospects for further cooperation would be explored in the final section.

Abstract:

The CERES-Rice crop simulation model, calibrated and validated for the varieties PR106 in NW India. IR36 in central India and Jaya in south India, is used for nalysing the effect of climate change on rice productivity in the country. Plausible climate change scenario for the Indian subcontinent as expected by the middle of the next century taking into account the projected emissions of greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosols, in a coupled atmosphere-ocean model experiment performed at Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum, Germany, is adopted for the study. The adopted scenario represented an increase in monsoon seasonal mean surface temperature of the order of about 1.5° C over the south India and 1°C over northwest and central India in the decade 2040-49 with respect to the 1980s and an increase in rainfall of the order of 2 mm per day over south India while the simulated decrease of the order about -1 mm and -1.5 mm over northwest and central India respectively. The IPCC Business-as-usual scenario projection of plant usable concentration of CO2 about 460 PPM by the middle fo the next century are also used in the crop model simulation (CERES - Rice V3 Model). Simulation studies carried out with the climate change scenarios over different parts of the country are analysed and interpreted.

Abstract:

Jacqueline Peel and Jolene Lin's informative assessment of climate litigation in the Global South is a vital and timely contribution to the growing literature on the issue. It relies on a definition of climate litigation that allows the authors to draw on a much larger set of cases from the Global South by including cases in which climate concerns are “at the periphery.” This essay examines climate litigation in India. Although the term “global warming” started appearing in Indian environmental judgments in the 1990s, climate litigation in India is of relatively recent provenance, and with a few exceptions, climate concerns are peripheral to other, more mainstream environmental issues. Peel and Lin analyze five Indian cases as part of their Global South docket; I expand this set by including fourteen more cases that I believe fit their article's chosen definitional ambit. I classify these cases into four categories based on the use of climate language—reference to climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, or the international negotiations—in the courts’ judgment. Drawing from case law analysis and Indian environmental litigation, I make observations about what we can interpret from the current set of climate cases, and I predict that while conditions are favorable for climate litigation in India to grow, in the near future climate claims are likely to remain peripheral issues.

Abstract:

AbstractThe high Himalayan mountains in the north of India are important sources for generating and maintaining the climate over the entire northern belt of the Indian subcontinent. They also influence extreme weather events, such as the western disturbances over the region during winter. The work presented here describes some current trends in weather and climate over the western Himalaya and suggests some possible explanations in the context of climate change. The work also shows how the special features of Indian orography in the western Himalaya affect climate change in the long term, changing the pattern of precipitation over the region. Data analysis of different ranges of the western Himalaya shows significant variations in temperature and snowfall trends in the past few decades. Possible explanations for the changing climate over the western Himalaya are proposed, in terms of variations in cloudiness. The possible effects of climate change on the number of snowfall days and the occurrences of western disturbances over the western Himalaya are also analysed.

Abstract:

India is a large country with all types of climates and different kinds of soil requiring different types of farming. Most of the agricultural land in India is dependent on rainfall for irrigation. India has about 15 Agro-climatic zones with different types of farming methods and crops. As most of the population is dependent on agriculture and two-third of the country depend on monsoon rains to aid in agriculture, any change in frequency of the rains will affect these areas critically. Assessment of the effects of global climate changes on agriculture might help to properly anticipate and adapt farming to maximize agricultural production. At the same time agriculture has been shown significant effects on climate change, primarily through the production and release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The impact of climate change on agriculture could result in problems like food security and may threaten the livelihood on which much of the population depends.

India is a large country with all types of climates and different kinds of soil requiring different types of farming. Most of the agricultural land in India is dependent on rainfall for irrigation.

As most of the population is dependent on agriculture and two-third of the country depend on monsoon rains to aid in agriculture, any change in frequency of the rains will affect these areas critically. Assessment of the effects of global climate changes on agriculture might help to properly anticipate and adapt farming to maximize agricultural production. At the same time agriculture has been shown significant effects on climate change, primarily through the production and release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The impact of climate change on agriculture could result in problems like food security and may threaten the livelihood on which much of the population depends. Climate change can affect crop yields ( both positively and negatively), as well as the types of crop that can be grown in certain areas, by impacting agricultural inputs such as water for irrigation, amounts of solar radiation that affect plant growth, as well as prevalence of pests. The impact of climate change on wheat showed that its yield decreased due to the adverse effects of temperature during grain ﬁlling and maturity stages of the growth. The results of this study indicate that crop characteristics such as sensitivity of grain ﬁlling duration to temperature, play a major role in determining the effects of climate change on crop productivity. Several studies projected increase or decrease in yields of cereal crops, oilseed and pulses crops depending on interaction of temperature and CO2 changes in India. The present study has selected a thirteen years period from 2000 – 2012. .

Abstract:

This study was carried out to understand the gaps between the targets and achievements in government climate change policies and the sufficiency of government policies and decisions regarding climate change. For this research paper secondary research was conducted. Various government reports from IPCC, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy were analyzed. The study revealed that the government is lacking behind in achieving the targets for the year 2022. Out of the 100 GW target, only 40.1 GW of solar energy is installed in the country. India is ranked 180th among 180 countries in the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) 2022. There are targets in place, but the specific plan of action to deal with the issues of climate change are lacking. Its high time the Indian government shall take the right decisions for protecting the environment and addressing the issue of climate change with an accurate approach.

Abstract:

Future climate change projections for India indicate distinct rise in temperature and increased variability in rainfall. This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on sorghum productivity in India in future climatic periods (2025, 2050 and 2075) using DSSAT-sorghum and suggest adaptation strategies to negate the negative impact of climate change on sorghum productivity in the future climates. Three CMIP-5 climate models (GFDL-ESM2M, MIROC5 and NorESM1-M) generated weather data for three future periods were used at various locations for kharif (Akola, Dharwad, Surat and Udaipur) and rabi (Bijapur, Dharwad, Rahuri and Solapur) seasons to simulate sorghum yields. Projected changes in day-night temperatures and rainfall during kharif and rabi growing seasons at these locations are diverse both in direction and magnitude. Increasing trend in rainfall is observed during both crop seasons towards the end of 21st century. Sorghum crop is likely to experience warmer temperature in the second half of the century and rise in minimum temperature is more explicit than maximum temperature at all the locations. Location specific management options can be adopted to mitigate the negative impacts of the change in climate in future projected scenarios, as they are found beneficial.

Abstract:

Climate change and related environmental factors like air pollutants, heat wave, UV radiation, smoke, greenhouse gases, bacteria, viruses, humidity, and temperature variation have considerable impact on human health and also on ocular structures like cornea, conjunctiva, and retina. Due to urbanization, deforestation and industrialization, in middle income developing countries like India, the effect of climate change on human health and eye health is even more causing significant increase in health-related costs. Eye is the most sensitive and vulnerable organ exposed to environmental insults resulting in many eye diseases like cataract, pterygium, glaucoma, neoplasia and dry eye. Moreover, diversity of Indian climate and the changes in the climate is giving rise to many emerging eye diseases and is also increasing the prevalence of many preexisting ocular conditions. Therefore, the main aim of this literature review is to highlight the impact of climate change in overall eye health and to report literature on the same in Indian context.

Abstract:

The socio-economic regulation has significant impact in shaping foreign policy choices of anycountry. This paper tries to analyze one major thrust in Indian foreign policy: climate changeand energy security. It focuses on the domestic factors and compulsions in shaping the foreignpolicy of India on specific issues related to social welfare of the common people. Ideationalliberalism one of the important variant of liberalism makes an important assumption that socioeconomicregulations play an important role in framing the foreign policy of any country. Itis significant to identify how the Indian foreign policy makers have decoded these domesticcompulsions and incorporated demands into government policies. An investigation is based onthe premises that socio-economic domestic compulsions have significant capability to influencethe choices of Indian foreign policy.

There is increasing climate change litigation in jurisdictions such as the United States, Australia and the European Union. Such litigation seeks to, inter alia, promote mitigation and compel governmental authorities to take effective adaptation measures. Climate litigation, however, is almost unknown in Asia. This article explores the potential for climate litigation in Asia and argues that conditions are ripe in jurisdictions like India and the Philippines for advancing climate mitigation and adaptation via the courtroom.

Abstract:

Climate change is a social phenomenon. The women and the men, however, do not experience climate change in identical terms. Gender disparity, in terms of vulnerability to changes in climate, persists across societies. Miserably poor economic status compounded by unavoidable dependence on natural resources for livelihood makes women relatively more vulnerable to climate change, everywhere. The women of the Sundarbans (India) are not unaware of their status. However, these women, in course of their continuous negotiation with climate change, have developed viable strategies to survive the disruptive effects of climate change in everyday life. The climate change-driven crises, as encountered and the coping strategies pursued by the women of the Sundarbans (India), have, however, failed to attract adequate attention from social researchers. The present paper, based on empirically derived data, makes a modest attempt to bridge this gap.

Abstract:

This paper assesses how the Paris Agreement on climate change affects China and India. Taking a twail (third-world approaches to international law) approach, it argues that patterns of exploitation are repeated in different fields. The unfccc required developed countries to reduce their emissions before developing countries would be required to do so. While some developed countries are keeping to their side of the bargain, others are failing to do so. Nevertheless, China and India have accepted an agreement with targets for all countries which requires considerable sacrifices in the energy field but possible gains in the water field. While both countries have agreed to reduce the rate of growth of their emissions, they have high expectations of climate finance, which are unlikely to be fulfilled. Their commitments require major changes to national policy, scarcely the sort of tinkering that the no-regrets policy in India has achieved.

Abstract:

Climate change has been the most serious challenge affecting agriculture in India where direct effects of climate change are expected to be very harsh. India will need to produce estimated 320 MT of food grains by the year 2025. Acknowledging the significant role of Science & Technology, India has since 2008 established “National Action Plan on Climate Change” which includes “National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture [NMSA]” among eight missions. NMSA aims at developing technologies & innovative agricultural practices and strengthening the capacity of farming communities to cope effectively with both climatic variability and changes. Adaptation and mitigation potential is nowhere more pronounced than in India where agricultural productivity remains low and poverty, vulnerability & food insecurity remain high. Against this background this development perspective article attempts to highlight the impact of climate change on agriculture in general and in India in particular and suggests the priority areas to accelerate the process of effective implementation of NMSA launched on June 26, 2015.
