- Abstract
India is a vast country in terms of its flora and fauna. In its vastness, India is also vulnerable to climate change impacts like extreme hot weather, irregular seasons, extreme cold, floods and droughts in many parts of the country. The situation becomes worse when a large population of India depends on agriculture sector. It is widely known that climate change has started affecting the weather conditions in India in an unprecedented manner in the present-day era. This research paper analyses and investigates two major aspects- the impact of climate change on Indian agriculture, ecology, livelihood and migration patterns and its social impact. Another aspect this research endeavour tries to critically evaluate is India’s policy preparedness in the form of National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC), 2008 in dealing with climate change crises. This research paper addresses the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 and 15 (Climate Action and Life on Land).
