As per Average temperature has risen by around 0.7 C during 1901-2018. Rainfall in summer monsoon declined by 6% during 9151 to 2015. Drought affected area increased by 1.3% per decade during 1951-2016. Sea Surface rise in the North Indian Ocean has accelerated to 3.3 mm per year between 1993 and 2007 Increased Frequency and intensity of climate extremes can have grave implications: Food Security: These changes can disrupt rain fed agricultural food production which accounts for 60% of agricultural GDP of India. Water Security: Frequent droughts and floods hinders surface and groundwater recharge. Rising sea level leads to intrusion of saltwater in the coastal aquifers contaminating the groundwater. Eg in Gujarat Tamil Nadu Retreat of glaciers in the Hindukush Himalayan region may impact the water supply in the major rivers and streams. Energy demand: Rising temperatures are likely to increase energy demand for cooling. Human Health:Risk of heat strokes cardiovascular and neurological diseases Spread of vector- borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever etc. Biodiversity: Many species may face increasing threats particularly those species which are adapted to narrow environmental conditions. Ex-coral reefs. Economy: The Loss in productivity by 2030 because of heat stress could be the equivalent of India losing 34 million full time jobs(ILO). According to the Union Government desertification Social issues: Climate disasters such as droughts cyclones and floods induce large scale migration. Repeated crop failures add to the burden of already distressed farmers who then commit suicides. Major initiatives of the Government towards combating climate change: National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC): The Action plan covers eight major missions. State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC): to align climate strategies with the eight National Missions under the NAPCC. International Solar Alliance (ISA): To provide a dedicated platform for cooperation among solar resource rich countries. FAME Scheme for E-mobility: Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME)- India Scheme to boost sales of eco-friendly vehicles in the country. Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT) for Smart Cities. Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana: The scheme provides LPG connections to poor people. UJALA scheme: target of replacing incandescent lamps with LED bulbs. Swachh Bharat Mission: The campaign seeks to clean the streets roads and infrastructure of the country. International agreements like the Kigali agreement and Paris Climate deal (India's Panchamitra). Following steps can taken towards building climate-resilience in India- Make vulnerability assessment central to long-term planning for developing regional and sector-specific adaptation and mitigation strategies. Greater emphasis on widening observational networks sustained monitoring An Ex-network of tide gauges with GPD along the Indian coastline would help monitor local changes in sea level. Afforestation efforts:Helps to mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration To improve resilience against droughts protecting coastal areas and supporting native wildlife and biodiversity. Building community awareness: Strategies should be formulated to effectively engage citizens by disseminating public messages through media outlets. Utilising traditional knowledge: The in-depth traditional knowledge of land and nature can be used as a reference while formulating the climate-resilient strategy. For example- Kuttanad Below Sea Level Farming System in Kerala. Conclusion Equity and social justice should be ensured for building climate resilience since the most vulnerable people such as the poor the disabledor India needs to take a leading role in bringing developed as well as developing and underdeveloped nations on common platform to build climate resilience.
