Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: India faces escalating climate threats, including intensified heatwaves, rising sea levels, and erratic monsoons, as highlighted by the WMO’s 2024 report. Building a resilient, climate-smart nation requires urgent, localized adaptation in key sectors like water, agriculture, health, and coastal management. Strengthening forecasting systems, ecosystem protection, and green job creation is vital. With timely, integrated action, India can transform climate vulnerability into leadership, securing a sustainable, inclusive future for all.
