On a global scale, climate change is marked by increasing temperatures, which result in more frequent and severe weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and heat waves. Melting polar ice caps and glaciers are causing sea levels to rise, posing threats to coastal areas. Warmer ocean temperatures are leading to coral bleaching and disruptions in marine ecosystems. Shifts in precipitation patterns are impacting freshwater resources and agricultural yields, causing food and water shortages. Biodiversity is at risk as habitats are changed or destroyed. Climate change is worsening social and economic inequalities, especially for vulnerable groups. Global efforts to combat climate change include reducing greenhouse gas emissions and shifting to renewable energy sources. Adaptation strategies are crucial to manage the unavoidable effects of climate change. India’s strategy towards addressing climate change has transformed over time, carefully managing its global obligations alongside national development goals. In international climate talks, India has consistently supported fairness principles and historical accountabilities (Ahmed 2023), progressively embracing more proactive approaches, highlighted by ambitious pledges at COP26 in Glasgow (Dubash et al. 2022). The nation has established ambitious targets for reducing emissions, such as reaching 450 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity and reducing carbon emissions by 33% by 2030 (Teske 2019).
