“Take urgent action to combat climate change & its impacts”

 

Why SDG 13 Matters in India  India is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. From the melting glaciers of the Himalayas to rising sea levels in coastal areas, the impacts of climate change are visible and intensifying.

 

Key climate risks for India:

  • More frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, and floods

  • Shifting monsoon patterns affecting agriculture and water supply

  • Rising sea levels threatening cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai

  • Increased incidence of vector-borne diseases

  • Economic losses from climate-related disasters (₹7 lakh crore between 1990–2020)
