2. Climate Change
What is it ?
• It is not a new phenomenon, Earth’s Climate is changing from the time of its
formation. Many scientific reports have shown that earth’s climate system varies
naturally over a wide range of time scales (millions or thousands of years).
It includes the factors such as:
• Variation in Temperature
• Sea level rise
• Glaciers and snow melting
• Variation in solar radiance
• Levels of Greenhouse Gases such as CO2

3. So why is it important now?
• Because the human activities (Industrialization) have increased its
pace.
• Earth’s atmosphere maintains the balance of energy entering and
leaving its system.
• The climate variations just before the Industrial revolution (1700s),
can be explained by natural causes ( Volcanic eruption, change in
solar radiance) but recent climate changes are so vast and rapid that
they cannot be explained by natural changes only, and there is for
sure other things going on (human activities) which are root cause of
it.

4. Causes and Effect of Climate Change
Generating power
Manufacturing goods
Cutting down forests
Using transportation
Producing food
Powering buildings
Consuming too much
Hotter temperatures
More severe storms
Increased drought & floods
A warming, rising ocean
Loss of species
Not enough food
More health risks
Poverty and displacement

7. How it has effected INDIA?
• Changing Rainfall pattern –> unpredicted Monsoon -> about 60% rain-
fed crop areas will be affected -> eventually lower GDP
• Extreme weather events will be increase -> disasters like floods,
drought, cloud burst, heat strokes etc. -> loss of life and property
• Example: Uttrakhand 2013 Disaster, Chennai flood
• Sea Level Rise -> submerged areas (islands, cities like Mumbai, Kolkata)
-> impact life

8. How it has effected INDIA??
• Health effects -> Increase in cases of Heat stroke, child mal-nutrition,
stunt growth
• Glaciers Melting -> snow cover lost -> rise in sea level and submergence of
low lying areas -> irrigation, domestic use will be effected
• Climate change will alter the quality of life and effect adversely to
livelihood. Therefore, India needs to act immediately to maintain its
development pace which is ecologically sustainable.
• Placing climate change at the centre of its environmental policies, India
took bold pledges in 2021 with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserting at
the crucial international climate summit COP 26 that it is the only country
delivering in "letter and spirit" the commitments under the Paris
Agreement.

9. Solution: National Action Plan on Climate
Change
• The National Action Plan on Climate
change was formally launched on June
30th, 2008 to mitigate and adapt to the
climate changes in different domains
• India is the first country to release such a
plan
• This initiative describes India’s efforts to
combat the impacts of Climate Change
• Vision is to create prosperous, but not
wasteful society, an economy that is self-
sustaining
• It comprises of 8 missions

10.  Plan in a Nutshell
Inclusive and sustainable development strategy to protect the poor
Qualitative change in the method through which the national growth objectives will be
achieved i.e. by enhancing ecological sustainability leading to further mitigation
Cost effective strategies for end use demand side management
Deployment of appropriate technologies for extensive and accelerated adaptation, and
mitigation of green house gases
Innovative market, regulatory and voluntary mechanisms to promote Sustainable
Development
Implementation through linkages with civil society, local governments and public-private
partnerships
International cooperation, transfer of technology and funding

11. 1. National Solar Mission

collaboration on technology development, strengthening of domestic
manufacturing capacity, and increased government funding and
international support.
• To be implemented in three stages. Budgetary allocation for the
twelfth five year plan (2012-2017) is 8795 crore.

12. India and USA at WTO 28 Jun 2019
India has won a major trade dispute against the US at the World Trade Organization
(WTO), with a dispute settlement panel.
India had claimed that the domestic content requirements and subsidies instituted
by the governments of the eight states of the US in the energy sector violated several
provisions of the Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs) Agreement and Subsidies
and Countervailing Measures Agreement.
India brought this dispute to the WTO in 2016.
The same year, the US had won a case at WTO against India's solar power policies,
claiming that policies had resulted in a 90% reduction of U.S. solar exports to India.
The panel pronounced that subsidies and mandatory local content requirements
instituted by eight American states (Washington, California, Montana, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Michigan, Delaware and Minnesota) breached global trade rules.
The panel found that all the US state measures at issue are inconsistent with GATT 1994
(Article III-national treatment) because they provide an advantage for the use of
domestic products, which amounts to less favourable treatment for similar imported
products.
