India is increasingly grappling with the financial implications of climate change, as highlighted by a recent analysis.
The country faces mounting challenges due to extreme weather events, including floods, droughts, and cyclones, which are becoming more frequent and severe.

Impact & Risks

The growing frequency of climate-related disasters poses significant risks to India's economy and infrastructure. Vulnerable populations, particularly those in rural and coastal areas, are at heightened risk of displacement and loss of livelihoods.
