The ongoing changes in climate and biodiversity loss pose severe risks to both the environment and human communities in India. The degradation of ecosystems reduces their capacity to mitigate climate impacts, increasing vulnerability to disasters such as floods and droughts. Rural livelihoods, particularly those of farmers and forest-dependent communities, are under threat. Women and other vulnerable groups are disproportionately affected, as they often rely heavily on natural resources for their daily needs. The loss of biodiversity also undermines food security, water availability, and overall human well-being.
