Climate change and its devastating impact on agriculture

Only 1/3rd of the country has received average rainfall so far this year

This causes delayed planting of crops (Mid July) that causes a decline in crop yield

Leads to drastic decrease in farmers incomes. Hence, engage in maladaptive practices to increase productivity

Increase in temperature around September severely impacts pod formation and pod filling in crops planted late
  • Livestock is impacted,affecting farmers alternate sources of income leaving limited scope for economic recovery
  • Farmers rely on informal lending sources with high interest rates to meet household/farming expenses creating severe dept traps
  • Heatwaves, unsafe water and rise in communication diseases affect their health

5 Fundamental reasons why climate action is inadequate

Climate disclosures are marred by inadequate frameworks, technical capabilities, and high costs of assessment and reporting

Technology transfers have been limited from the global north and south

Lack of a skilled workforce to enable and support the transition

Economic costs of transitioning to a sustainable future, involving millions of workers and small businesses, is at 3-6% of global GDP by 2050, whereas current levels are under 1%

Focus on climate mitigation leaving 92% of India's adaptation needs underfunded
