Climate change is having significant impacts on India, which is ranked as the fourth most affected country. India's greenhouse gas emissions are the third largest in the world, mainly from coal use. Rising temperatures are causing Himalayan glaciers to retreat and threatening water resources. This is exacerbating droughts and floods while also displacing coastal communities through sea level rise. Climate change poses severe risks to India's economy, agriculture, and population health by increasing heat waves and air pollution. The government is pursuing policies like boosting renewable energy and reforestation to mitigate and adapt to these climate change impacts.
