Climate change represents one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century, with global warming, extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and environmental degradation threatening ecosystems, economies, and communities. Across the globe, nations are grappling with the urgent need for effective climate action to mitigate the impacts of climate change and transition to low-carbon, sustainable economies. The latest reports from the United Nations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlight the accelerating pace of climate impacts, urging immediate and bold action to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

For India, a nation of over 1.4 billion people and one of the world’s largest carbon emitters, addressing climate change is both a critical challenge and an immense opportunity. With its vast and diverse geography, India is highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, including heatwaves, floods, droughts, and extreme weather events, which disproportionately affect its vulnerable populations. At the same time, India’s growing economy and ambitious development goals make it a crucial player in the global climate action movement.

India’s climate policy must strike a balance between advancing economic growth, ensuring energy security, and addressing the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Forward-thinking climate policies will not only help mitigate risks but also create opportunities in renewable energy, green technology, sustainable agriculture, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
