The El Niño event poses significant risks to India's agriculture, water resources, and food security. Delayed monsoons could affect crop yields, particularly in drought-prone regions, exacerbating food insecurity. Globally, the event is expected to disrupt weather patterns, leading to extreme droughts, floods, and wildfires, with cascading effects on health, energy, and ecosystems. Vulnerable populations, especially in rural areas, are at heightened risk of water scarcity and economic instability.
