The decline in green cover has exacerbated heat-related risks across India, particularly in urban areas where non-green surfaces dominate. Higher summer temperatures in these regions can lead to increased heat stress, affecting public health, agriculture, and water resources. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions, are at greater risk of heat-related illnesses. The study warns that without immediate intervention, the situation could worsen, leading to more severe environmental and societal impacts.
