The Himalayan region and other vulnerable areas are experiencing recurring natural disasters, including landslides, flash floods, and cloudbursts, which are exacerbated by climate change. These events pose significant risks to infrastructure, livelihoods, and ecosystems. Water pollution, particularly in rivers like the Mahanadi, threatens aquatic life and the availability of clean water for communities. The increasing intensity of extreme weather events could lead to more frequent disruptions in daily life and economic activities, especially in regions prone to natural disasters.
